C65 Third Cycle

In the third reincarnation, Li Yi returned to the martial world of his previous life. He experienced his previous life once again. Everything he experienced up until the time he crossed over was the same. There was not the slightest difference.

The difference this time was that although he was struck by lightning, he did not pass through. Instead, he laid on the bed with heavy injuries for over half a year.

After recovering from his injuries, Li Yi was surprised to find out that due to the tempering of his body by thunder and lightning, his two meridians and eight extraordinary meridians were all connected. The Houtian Zhen Qi in his body was also completely converted into Xiantian Qi with bursts of purple lightning.

He had actually reached the Xiantian realm, the dream of all martial artists! Moreover, the true energy within his body carried with it the power of thunder and lightning!

With this, Yu Yue became a dragon. Li Yi's position in the Wudang Sect skyrocketed and was directly taken in as a disciple by the Sect Leader, Daoist Master Qingsong. He became the Sect Leader's Junior Brother, under one person, above a thousand people.

The number one beauty of Wu Dang, who initially looked down on him, also looked at him in a different light. The attitude of the previously aloof senior brothers and martial uncles changed drastically. They all fought to get close to him and offered him money as a gift, fawning over him.

Relying on his Upper Sky Realm Qi and the special lightning attribute zhen qi, Li Yi gained a huge reputation in the martial world and was honored as the "Purple Lightning Sword God". He married the Jiang Hu's number one beauty, Murong Mingyue, and after a hundred years, he took over the position of the Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect.

After Zhu Di seized the throne of his nephew, Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunliang, and in order to stabilize his own power and win over the Wudang faction, he sent for Li Yi to hold a martial arts conference to express his support for the throne.

Li Yi loathed Zhu Di's actions of killing his nephew for the throne, so he firmly refused his request. As Martial Chief and the publicly acknowledged number one expert of the world, if he didn't listen to Zhu Di's commands, there was nothing Zhu Di could do about it. This matter was left unsettled.

Half a year later, Murong Mingyue gave birth to a fat boy for Li Yi. Li Yi was overjoyed. He invited all the heroes to a feast to celebrate.

Halfway to the banquet, Li Yi discovered that someone poisoned him. There was even a group of black-masked martial artists that took the opportunity to kill him.

As an Upper Sky elite warrior, he was naturally immune to poisons, but his disciples were in great danger, especially his most trusted disciples. Almost all of them had died.

After killing all the enemies, Li Yi rushed back to the house. He saw his wife, Murong Mingyue, and his newborn son lying in a pool of blood. His most trusted junior brother, Li Suxi, was standing there with a dripping blood sword in his hand.

"Why? "Why would you do that?"

Two streams of blood flowed down from Li Yi's eyes as he hissed while pointing his sword at Li Susu.

"Why? Because you don't know the facts! The emperor had sent people to lobby time and time again, but you were confident in your martial arts and refused to listen to the proclamation! This is a rare opportunity for me to grow stronger, I definitely will not allow you to destroy it! "

"Because of this, you colluded with the imperial government and caused the death of so many disciples! You disregarded justice, rebelled against me, and killed your sister-in-law and innocent children! "

Li Yi's Zhen Qi was surging all over his body, and waves of electricity were coiling around him. His anger had reached its peak.

"Moral? Humph! Morality was not greater than the Dao of the Heavens! The Emperor represents the people of Tianmu Kingdom, and the Emperor's decree is the representative of the Heavenly Dao. If you were to go against the heavens, I will naturally go against you! "

"Clang!"

Li Yi angrily pulled out his sword and sliced Li Susu's long sword in half along with his body.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at his wife and son lying in a pool of blood, he thought of the many disciples who had died tragically in the hall.

Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao! What is the Heavenly Dao?

Everything in the world was just like a stray dog!

The Dao of the Heavens was ruthless. As long as one was in this world and could not escape the cycle of life and death, one would forever be under the control of the Dao of the Heavens.

However, how could he jump out of this world under the heavens? How could he escape the cycle of life and death?

The only thing that mattered was cultivation. The great Dao of life, the Dao of Transcendence!

Wait, he seemed to have already become an immortal cultivator?

Suddenly, a light lit up in Li Yi's heart. He had completely remembered that this was all an illusion. He had been reincarnated into an illusion for a lifetime. This was just an illusion, a real illusion!

When he thought here, the surrounding space instantly shattered like glass. Li Yi found himself in a mass of nine-colored fog, and an endless life force suddenly erupted the moment he broke through the illusion of reincarnation, Li Yi's body was like a black hole that swallowed everything, the nine-colored fog was swallowed by Li Yi.

Just like the first time he fused with the [Ancient God's Heart], a tearing pain continuously came from the depths of his soul. The remnant energy of the Ancient God's Heart that was hidden in his blood constantly exploded, and the sound of his blood flowing was like a raging river.

Resisting the excruciating pain with great difficulty, Li Yi circulated the [Primal Chaos Formula], absorbing the colorful fog into his body and circulating it through his meridians.

With the activation of the [Primal Chaos Formula], the colorful fog slowly fused into Li Yi's flesh and bones.

The impurities were further expelled from Li Yi's body. Li Yi's physical strength was slowly increasing. Peak of the early Aurous Core stage, middle phase, peak of the middle phase, late phase, post-aurous core!

Moreover, Li Yi's physique was slowly evolving into a Wanxiang Body.

Five Elements Body: Large Success! The Spirit of Darkness had reached large success! The Spirit of Wind had reached large success! The Spirit of Lightning had reached large success! Light Spirit Body, Small Success! Death Spirit Body, Small Success! The spirit body of desire, small success!

Suddenly, the pain receded like the tidewaters. Li Yi opened his eyes, and a scene of life and death and a river of stars shattering flashed past his eyes.

The Myriad Manifestation Body had been completed!

Of course, the Wanxiang Body was only at the initial stage. In order to reach the advanced stage, one of the nine great spirit bodies, the Light Spirit Body, needed to reach the advanced stage. Moreover, if both the killing and desire spirits could reach large success at the same time, then the further evolution of the Fiendgod Body in the future would be even more powerful!

Li Yi already knew that when he broke through the illusion, the nine colored fog surrounding him was the nine source energies.

He had already absorbed the Five Elements Spirit Bead in the Five Elements Immortal Manor before, the Spirit Pearl of Darkness in the Green Summit Sect, and a large amount of the essence of the wind. He had also absorbed a large amount of the essence of the lightning in the illusions of the forest, so after the nine source energies had entered his body, his Five Elements Body, Spirit Body of Darkness, Spirit of Wind, and Spirit of Lightning had all matured.

In the third reincarnation cycle, Li Yi's two souls had long since reached their limits. Because of this, Li Yi did not risk his life like when he absorbed the heart of the ancient god, when he had advanced from the five elements to the Myriad Domain.

His Cultivation base had unknowingly broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage!

This time, they had reaped a great harvest! Linglong was right, the qualification to enter the Misty Illusion Realm was indeed worthy of being the highest level reward of the Misty Pavilion!

After leaving the illusionary world, it would be the time for a quarter-step soul exercise. And this time, it should be much easier than the first time.

Li Yi stood up and walked towards the door of light that represented the exit of the illusion.

"..."

"Xiao Yi, you've finally come out. It's been three days and three nights. Grandpa Kong said that if you don't come out soon you'll be in danger. I was worried to death!"

The moment Li Yi stepped out of the illusory realm, Leng Linglong threw herself into his embrace, her tone filled with joy and worry.

Three days, three nights, three days, ah!

Laughing softly, Li Yi held onto Leng Linglong's waist, "Little fool, don't worry, won't I come out safely?"

"Xiao Yi, you, you seem a little different!"

In Leng Linglong's memory, Li Yi had never been so bold as this. At most, he would only hold her hand, and every time she jumped into his embrace, he would blush and dodge while saying those words.

It was the first time in Leng Linglong's memory that she hugged her so naturally and boldly, without any shyness or embarrassment.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought it through. I don't want to miss it again!"

Li Yi laughed, and stretched out his hand to caress Leng Linglong's familiar face, a feeling as if it was a lifetime ago.

Li Yi clearly remembered that in his third life, in the illusion world, he and his wife, Murong Mingyue, who had lived for more than ten years, looked exactly the same.

In the illusion world, the moment Li Yi saw Murong Mingyue lying in a pool of blood, his heart broke as well.

In Li Yi's eyes, Murong Mingyue and Leng Linglong were the same person. The reason why he married Murong Mingyue in the illusion world was because Leng Linglong was the woman he loved the most.

The illusion was fake, but the feelings were real. Seeing Leng Linglong again, the joy of recovering from a loss made Li Yi want to hug Leng Linglong tighter and rub her into his body, never letting go.

How could he be as shy and evasive as he was before when he saw Leng Linglong's intimate actions?

"Xiao Yi, your cultivation! "You've reached the late Foundation Establishment stage?"

Since they were both in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and Li Yi didn't use the 'restraining breath technique' to hide his aura, Leng Yanran was the first to notice the change in Li Yi's cultivation level after her initial happiness.

"Late Foundation Establishment?"

Zhao Zilong was also enlightened, "Indeed, it is the late stage of Foundation Establishment! "Oh my god, is there still any justice in this? You entered this illusion for three days and you've already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage!"

Leng Linglong also had a look of realization, "No wonder I feel that you, Little Yi, have become different. So it turns out that your cultivation has advanced to the late Foundation Establishment stage. Truly amazing!" It looks like I have to work hard, hurry up and raise my cultivation to catch up with you, you can't be left behind by you, Little Yi! "

Amongst the crowd, only Elder Kong knew the true changes that had occurred to Li Yi's body. Feeling Li Yi's terrifying physical body and formidable soul force that far surpassed his cultivation, Elder Kong silently cursed in his heart: "How could you kids know how terrifying this brat is? His body's strength is higher than even the imperial family of the same realm, and his soul's strength is even so strong, he's simply abnormal! Compared to him, that kid surnamed Zhao might be a monster, but it's not like he can't accept that! "
