CHAPTER 1112: CHAPTER 875: THE FINAL CROSSING BETWEEN WORLDS

"Two hours have passed, Hongji, activate the Immortal Dao Battleship, and commence the cross-realm journey, destination: Earth’s Golden Academy."

As the time arrived, Li Yi immediately instructed the intelligent brain.

Intelligent Brain Hongji promptly controlled the Immortal Dao Battleship, which had originally been hovering in the sky. At this moment, it suddenly accelerated, streaking across the firmament at an extremely fast speed. From a distance, it resembled a meteor flashing by, moving incredibly swiftly.

"Are we really leaving this world?"

Dozens of Great Perfection Realm cultivators were inside the Immortal Dao Battleship, looking through the projection at this End of Dharma Cultivation World. To them, although this world had depleted Spiritual Energy and cultivation was nonexistent, it was still their birthplace.

Leaving through cross-realm travel was unavoidable, yet it filled them with reluctance.

"The Heavenly Dao is just so; a Great Cultivation World has its prosperous times and its days of decline. With the coming of the Dharma Decline, this world has fallen into a mundane land. We, as cultivators, how can we cling to the old and withered, struggling in a place devoid of spirit? Leaving early gives us a chance to pass down the Daoist teachings, perhaps even continuing our journey." Yuqing Taoist sighed.

"Without us, this great crowd of cultivators in Outer Heaven, perhaps those remaining can live better, maybe even have a chance to hold on until the next Spiritual Energy revival. Before leaving, I left behind all the Spirit Stones and Elixirs, which could be a little help for future generations." Xuanzhenzi’s expression was calm.

"Why didn’t I think of that? If we’re crossing realms, the Spirit Stones would be useless anyway, leaving them in Outer Heaven can indeed leave them a way to survive." Some Great Perfection Realm cultivators felt very regretful.

They were busy packing their things and arranging their affairs and didn’t think about this layer.

"Everyone has their destiny. The future path can only be treaded alone." Some said it very freely.

In Outer Heaven, living are not only these Great Perfection Realm cultivators but also many disciples, Daoist companions, and descendants. However, now, they have all been abandoned for a simple reason.

Li Yi doesn’t need a group of useless weaklings; he requires strong warriors capable of fighting.

"Is there only one Enlightened one in the whole of Outer Heaven?" Inside the Immortal Dao Battleship, Li Yi suddenly asked.

The young Daoist smiled and said, "An Enlightened one’s consumption of Spiritual Energy daily is too much, after a civil war only I am left. Several Daoist friends, it’s a pity they couldn’t hold on until the day of your arrival, Taiyi Heavenly Venerate."

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators looked at Eastern Pole Venerable with horror.

Unexpectedly, such an inside story existed in Outer Heaven.

No wonder the Spiritual Energy consumption rate in Outer Heaven has slowed down greatly over the past year; it turns out it was because an Enlightened one died.

"When drought comes, the big crocodiles in the pond always start fighting first." Li Yi narrowed his eyes, "Sir, your methods are indeed exceptional, managing to win in the end."

Eastern Pole Venerable slightly shook his head with a smile, "It’s not that I survived to the end, but rather Taiyi Heavenly Venerate you saw me alive at the end. If I had lost in the struggle, perhaps standing here would be some other Heavenly Venerate by now."

"I just crossed realms a year ago, isn’t it too hasty to make a move now?" Li Yi asked.

Eastern Pole Venerable said, "Couldn’t dare to bet on how many years it takes for Daoist friend to arrive, preparation in advance is necessary. Besides, no Enlightened one is willing to weaken their strength due to Spiritual Energy depletion, so seizing the Spiritual Energy of Outer Heaven is something every Enlightened one must do."

"And this undoubtedly accelerates the destruction of Outer Heaven. Of course, a Heavenly Venerate thought about exterminating the Great Perfection ones to reduce the consumption of Spiritual Energy, but this proposal was vetoed. Daoist friend, do you know why?"

Other Perfection hearing this secret matter were all trembling with fear.

Unexpectedly, they had walked around the edge of death, if this proposal had passed then, they wouldn’t have lived to this day.

Li Yi said, "With Enlightened ones present, Great Perfection Realm cultivators are ultimately obedient. Killing them is pointless, and how dare they compete with Enlightened ones for Spiritual Energy. Seeing them in such a dispirited state before, it’s clear that their Spiritual Energy supply was meager, just barely maintaining basic survival."

"Indeed, that was my thought at the time as well. Great Perfection cultivators do not consume much Spiritual Energy; killing them is useless. Enlightened ones are the culprits consuming large Spiritual Energy, so internal conflict is inevitable. Therefore, the Enlightened ones amongst us decided to settle this by strength, a single battle to determine the future of the world."

Eastern Pole Venerable’s eyes were still calm as he said, "Before the great battle, we compiled everything we’ve learned in life, the Daoist Skills of the world, into a Taoist Scripture, to be inherited by the Enlightened one who survives, so as to keep the legacy from dying."

From his words, it was not hard to see that regarding the battle that decided the future of the cultivation world, the Enlightened ones of Outer Heaven all had the resolve to die. Although Eastern Pole Venerable ended up as the last winner, he did not show any joy.

"In the End of Dharma World, this decision is indeed very wise." Li Yi didn’t say much more, "It’s just a pity I made this trip only to bring back one Enlightened one. Had I come earlier, maybe I could have had a few more allies, as the other realm is not very peaceful."

He also glanced at this cultivation world.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Yi will not come again, and the remaining cultivation experts in this entire world have been captured by him all at once. In the future, this place will completely degenerate into a mundane world without Spiritual Energy, though it might possibly evolve into a Martial Hero World.

After all, he once imparted Martial Arts in this world.

As a brilliant energy beam blasted from the main cannon of the Immortal Dao Battleship, the Cross-border Gate opened, and the Immortal Dao Battleship flew into it, carrying the last batch of cultivation experts away from this world.

Once again, the sights of Earth came into view.

Although inside the Immortal Dao Battleship, all the cultivators could instantly recognize that this was a world abundant in spiritual energy, yet... for some reason, the world was always filled with an ominous aura.

"This is Earth, where spiritual energy has only been reviving for a decade or so, but the spiritual energy here has become somewhat polluted, so you’d best not touch it lightly," Li Yi warned, "First, accompany me to the Golden Academy, adhere to the rules here, learn about the situation, and avoid causing trouble. This world is quite unique."

"This world is indeed very peculiar; never before has any world’s sky been torn open into such a massive space fissure, and moreover, it connects with another world." The Eastern Pole Venerable had already noticed the Mystic Immortal Continent World at the end of the sky.

He could sense that it was also a great realm of cultivation.

Moreover, the forces here were chaotic, filled with complex powers that were hard to comprehend.

It’s wise to be low-key upon first arriving here, to first understand the situation of this world.

The Immortal Dao Battleship continued flying, and soon, it arrived at the Golden Academy once again.

However, when the experts within the Golden Academy saw Li Yi’s Immortal Dao Battleship reappear, they all showed a bit of surprise, because just yesterday, a massive tide of energy swept through space, even affecting Earth.

Many thought this was another omen of a Sky Tipping incident.

But soon, the vice president of the Golden Academy, Sun Boxiu, explained that Li Yi had found the source of energy pollution on the Moon and his actions had caused some normal reactions.

Even images of the Crystal Palace behind the Moon were released.

The reason for making them public was due to the current strength of Earth’s cultivators; rushing into space and investigating the Moon was easy. Rather than letting these people act recklessly, it was better to make it public to prevent some potential troubles.

Unexpectedly, after the end of that energy tide, the spiritual energy pollution on Earth was greatly alleviated, at least it no longer eroded other worlds or affected the evolvers.

However, the pollution problem still exists, not entirely resolved.

But at least it pointed a direction for all the experts on Earth, making people realize that the pollution issue can indeed be solved. If successful, they wouldn’t need to go to other worlds to cultivate.

Yet, on the far side of the Moon, a terrifying existence resides in the Crystal Palace, one even Li Yi cannot easily handle.

Fortunately, Li Yi safely returned to the Golden Academy.

When the Immortal Dao Battleship hovered.

Li Yi and Lin Yue walked out from inside. He instructed Hongji to educate this group of Great Perfection Realm cultivators on various knowledge and let them stay within the battleship for the time being.

"Li Yi, what happened on the Moon side? Is there really someone deliberately setting up a grand array to pollute Earth’s energy?"

As soon as he appeared, someone flew over from a distance, immediately inquiring.

Li Yi looked at the newcomer; it was Ye Jingtian, whom he had met at the No.8 Survival Base, and said, "This matter is complicated. I did discover some secrets, but saying them is of no use, as the problem cannot be solved by the current experts on Earth."

"I tried to disrupt part of the grand array’s operation yesterday, and it seems it had some effect, temporarily alleviating Earth’s pollution issue."

"But now doesn’t seem to be the time to focus on this issue, isn’t cross-boundary warfare more important?"

"Many have heard about the cross-boundary warfare. If you, Li Yi, plan to act, I will certainly participate," Ye Jingtian said.

Li Yi said, "That’s good. I’ll discuss the matter with the higher-ups, and I presume there will be a resolution soon."

"But Li Yi, haven’t you forgotten something?" Ye Jingtian said, "That old Martial Saint from the Martial Saint Continent, Wu Tianji, is looking for you everywhere."

"He probably isn’t concerned about my whereabouts but wants to challenge me," Li Yi laughed. "However, this is a small matter, it doesn’t matter. Can you help me contact him? Let him come to find me; I’ll be waiting here."

"You’re as confident as ever; after all, that is a Martial Saint whose strength surpasses a Demon King, and a martial arts contest is disadvantageous to you," Ye Jingtian said.

Li Yi said, "At a disadvantage? Not necessarily; don’t forget, I also come from a martial arts background."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll go notify him," Ye Jingtian said, and then he quickly left.
