CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 686: GODDESS CROSSING REALMS

When Li Yi and his group returned to Red Mountain City, the city was already noticeably less crowded.

Because Li Yi had driven out all the slaves and the warriors guarding Red Gold Mountain, many warriors, who represented families, were also leaving. Some even had many slaves, followers, and guests in Red Mountain City.

Their departure naturally took a large group of people with them.

For this reason, many Merchant Masters, fearing future retribution, also chose to leave temporarily.

This made the once bustling Red Mountain City suddenly deserted.

However, this was a good thing for Li Yi. The secret of Red Gold Mountain was too significant, and the fewer people lingering here, the better. He felt driving away those people was the right decision.

But a city without order or management wouldn’t work either.

This place couldn’t be abandoned. Since Li Yi had become the Mountain Lord here, he would live, settle, and cultivate here in the future. If it was left in disarray, it would surely be inconvenient.

So when Li Yi returned to Red Mountain City, he immediately sought out the Merchant Master still in the city, Nu Heng.

When Nu Heng saw Li Yi again, her eyes showed respect because Li Yi was now different from before. He was no longer an ordinary Divine Blood Warrior but a local lord.

Moreover, he was the new Red Gold Mountain Master.

This change in status even made her, a Merchant Master from the Beihuang Lineage Divine Blood Family, feel overshadowed.

"Now, should I address you as Mountain Lord Da Yi?" Nu Heng asked, lightly bowing her eyes, carrying a hint of smile and respect.

Li Yi said, "Nu Heng, you helped me before. Now that I’ve taken Red Gold Mountain, it’s time to repay you. Are you interested in helping me manage this Red Mountain City? I think running a city’s interests outweighs trading once more."

Nu Heng, somewhat surprised yet delighted, said, "Da Yi, do you want to entrust the management of Red Mountain City to me?"

"I am a warrior, needing to grow stronger and fight. Managing a city isn’t my forte. If you’re unwilling, I’ll have to find someone else. I wonder if Merchant Master Xiu Xiang would be willing to accept this task." Li Yi said.

He thought for managing this city, it would be best to use someone native to this world, to better adhere to its rules.

"Xiu Xiang is still in Divine Wood City. Traveling back and forth would be very time-consuming. Since Da Yi has asked, I’ll take on this task, doing my best to manage Red Mountain City for you."

Nu Heng quickly stated, not giving Li Yi a chance to regret.

"Then everything is in your hands, Nu Heng," Li Yi said.

"Rest assured, Mountain Lord, I’ll restore Red Mountain City to its former prosperity." Nu Heng promised confidently, as she had great faith in her abilities, given her background as a Merchant Master, knowing how to attract Merchant Masters from all sides.

Li Yi nodded, saying no more. Since he chose Nu Heng to manage Red Mountain City, he would grant his trust.

He still held much trust in this world’s promises.

After arranging this matter.

Li Yi once again returned to the City Lord Mansion.

Not only was it deserted, but the valuables had also been moved into their respective storage magical artifacts. The City Lord Mansion was now an empty shell, nothing left, but it was still a good place for living.

"Taiyi, I need you to open the cross-border gate for a trip. Xiang Xiangzi and I need to return to the Incense World." At this time, Xuan Yuezi spoke: "Three Immortals are waiting for us to help reshape their bodies for complete revival."

"Now, with Red Gold, Life Water, and Divine Blood, I believe the other three Immortals can recover soon."

"Alright, it’s a small matter, but with the two Immortals leaving, who will oversee Red Mountain City?" Li Yi asked.

Xiang Xiangzi glared slightly: "Taiyi, it’s time to return to the Dharma Decline World, bring over Divine Lady Yun and a few others. This world’s Spiritual Energy is abundant, suitable for quickly restoring their strength, helping you oversee Red Gold Mountain shouldn’t be an issue."

Li Yi pondered upon hearing this, then nodded: "It makes sense, eggs shouldn’t be in one basket, Cultivators of the End of Dharma Era shouldn’t all stay on Earth. Settling here is good as well."

The Earth’s situation is complicated, it’s better to settle here first.

After all, the Wilderness world and Earth are connected, without needing cross-border travel, just flying along the valley where the Divine’s bones are buried to reach Earth.

Afterward, Li Yi didn’t waste time, immediately setting up the cross-border machine, using the three miraculous items as an energy source, opening the cross-border gate, and connecting to the Incense World.

The two Immortals left straight away due to urgent matters, without lingering.

After sending off Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, Li Yi once again adjusted the cross-border machine, re-positioned coordinates, reopening the cross-border gate connecting to the End of Dharma Cultivation World.

As the cross-border gate opened,

Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth poured frantically into the End of Dharma Cultivation World; that world had been starved for so long that now the cross-border gate was opened, the Spiritual Energy of the Wilderness world was being seized madly.

Simultaneously,

Outside the Treasure Court of the End of Dharma Cultivation World, there was a valley.

Here, flowers bloomed, birds sang, everything was orderly, a picture of an earthly paradise.

Behind the valley were three great mountains, flowers blooming like lotuses, with imposing, majestic palaces, with the main palace hanging a plaque: "Taiyi Hall"

This was a foothold Li Yi set up in the End of Dharma Cultivation World back then.

Living in the city were once cultivation experts of the Tri-Floral Realm, but now their levels have fallen, reduced to ordinary people. However, Li Yi taught them a new method here, Martial Arts.

Even though it is not enough to restore their strength, it can preserve their Qi-Blood, keeping their bodies strong and not completely powerless.

And as the Cross-border Gate opened, this valley once again received the baptism of a Spiritual Energy storm.

However, this isn’t the first time such a situation has occurred.

Feeling the outpour of Spiritual Energy, almost all cultivators in the city simultaneously put down whatever they were doing to desperately absorb this rare Spiritual Energy. As long as there’s Spiritual Energy, these cultivators can extend their lifespan a bit longer, avoiding dying of old age.

"It’s Taiyi opening the Cross-border Gate again. This time, he’s likely to bring people across the realm for cultivation. Quickly, gather before the Taiyi Hall."

Everyone realized this, and while absorbing the Spiritual Energy, they multitasked, hurrying towards the Taiyi Hall.

In just a short moment, around thirty to forty cultivators gathered from all directions.

At the same time, a white and blue Thunderbolt Fighter also flew from somewhere above the valley to hover before the Taiyi Hall. With the cockpit opening, Yun Feizi, the Divine Lady of the Heavenly Dao Sect, slowly descended.

Her figure was magnificent, and she was incredibly beautiful, exuding a noble aura as if she were a celestial lotus, only to be admired and not profaned.

Although Yun Feizi had lost her Mana, she relied on the Thunderbolt Fighter left by Li Yi before he departed to manage the small city well, even absorbing several End of Dharma era cultivators from the Treasure Court.

Besides, during this period, she also collected many precious Dao Artifacts.

Because Yun Feizi was very aware that the Dharma Decline World no longer had hope for the revival of Dao Artifacts, but after crossing realms, Dao Artifacts could still unleash great value.

"Last time, Xiang Xiangzi, Nun Liu, Tu Daoist, Feiyunzi, and Qian Daoist, a total of five people, crossed realms and left. I wonder who the lucky ones will be this time." Yun Feizi thought to herself.

Her heart was also filled with the desire to leave across realms.

Degraded to a mortal for so long, with her level severely decreased, she longed each day to go to a new world and restore her once Tri-Floral Realm cultivation.

However, as everyone arrived before the Taiyi Hall.

On the open ground outside the hall, Li Yi was already waiting there.

Yet when these former Tri-Floral Realm cultivators saw Li Yi again, they all widened their eyes in shock.

They saw Li Yi, wrapped in Five-Colored Qi, with the sound of dragons and tigers seemingly accompanying his every move. Just by standing there motionlessly, there was a faint silver lightning dancing around him.

Undoubtedly.

Taiyi had already reached Five Qi Great Perfection and had cultivated the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-subduing Skill of the Heavenly Dao Sect, currently possessing Dragon and Tiger Power.

But how could that be?

To condense Dragon and Tiger Power at merely Five Qi Realm Great Perfection? Isn’t that something only a Tri-Floral Realm expert could possess?

It’s unknown exactly how many dragons and tigers worth of power Taiyi possesses.

"Taiyi’s current strength is probably no less than an expert at the One Flower Realm," said Yun Feizi, the Divine Lady of the Heavenly Dao Sect, as she couldn’t help but press her lips, hiding her inner shock.

How long has it been, and the combat power has already reached the Tri-Floral Realm?

The increase in strength is simply unreasonable, even if he was engaging in Dual Cultivation with Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi every day, it shouldn’t be this fast.

Indeed, Li Yi’s current strength was enough to suppress many Tri-Floral Realm cultivation experts. He did not hurry to close the Cross-border Gate but allowed the Spiritual Energy storm from the Barbaric World to blow over this place a bit longer.

Let the cultivators in this small city enjoy the Spiritual Energy more.

"Humble Daoist has met Taiyi."

"Taiyi, you’ve finally come across realms; the old Daoist has truly been waiting."

"Taiyi is here, hope is here."

The people were very excited to see Li Yi because his past two realm crossings had benefited eight cultivators. Many now hoped to be the third batch of lucky ones.

Moreover, this time, they believed Li Yi would bring more people across realms.

At least more than the second time.

In fact, that was exactly what Li Yi was thinking.

This time crossing realms, he intended to bring more experts. After all, the Red Gold Mountain is vast enough to accommodate these people, and he could manage them differently from the previous two crossings.

"Esteemed seniors, to be brief, this time I’ll open the Cross-border Gate and wish to invite twenty people to leave this place with me and proceed to the Barbaric World to continue our journey," Li Yi said. "After crossing this time, it might not be easy to return, so I hope the seniors will decide after careful consideration."

Yun Feizi’s beautiful eyes intensely stared at Li Yi, saying, "Taiyi, please take me across the realm too; several Immortals have already left with Taiyi, and as the Divine Lady of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I can’t delay anymore."

"And as a return, I’m willing to serve Taiyi with all my might."
