CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 728: SETTLING IN

Time passed quickly.

In three days, these cultivators from the End of Dharma had barely recovered part of their strength. Though they were still far from their peak, at least they had the power to protect themselves and wouldn’t be easily taken out.

"Time’s up. Next, I will take you all to a survival base. All you need to do is live well within the base and restore your cultivation. I’ll have someone inform you about the specific situation," Li Yi said.

At this moment, Li Yi spoke, "Although the survival base is safe, many strong enemies still exist outside. You all need to quickly restore your cultivation to defend the base and help resist external enemies."

"Guarding the city? That’s easy enough," a Daoist slightly nodded, full of confidence.

As long as one has cultivation, being a Tri-Floral Realm expert, they fear no enemy.

"Don’t underestimate the enemies on Earth currently...," Li Yi shortly explained to them the situations regarding the Demon God Realm and the Xuanxian Continent, briefly mentioning the Dark World.

These three worlds are among the primary enemies on Earth.

Moreover, he introduced the Demon King’s realm and the cultivation system of Immortal Cultivation.

"Earth Demon, Sky Demon, Great Demon, Demon King... Back then, even Wu the Taoist, who opened two flowers, couldn’t defeat a Great Demon? Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Crossing Tribulation, Mahayana... This Xuanxian Continent is truly a hidden threat."

"A complete cultivation system in the Cultivation World, developed to its peak, with even Immortals and Treasures, Immortal Artifacts existing... It’s surprising that such a world needs to invade Earth."

"Our strength at the Tri-Floral Realm is comparable to a Great Demon, around the Mahayana Realm, but which is truly stronger or weaker would only be known after a battle."

These cultivators felt extremely amazed hearing this information.

Unexpectedly, this world was so lively.

One world connected to many others, where experts collide and learn from each other’s cultivation systems, able to practice multiple methods simultaneously.

Meanwhile, as Li Yi relayed some important information to them, he also cloud-rode and brought them back to the No.8 Survival Base.

Because twenty-some cultivators didn’t have any identity information, alarms went off as they approached the base.

But soon, the alarms were lifted.

This was because Ye Jingtian used his privileges to let Li Yi and the others pass.

"Don’t worry, Li Yi brought a group of experts to join our No.8 Survival Base. These experts likely aren’t Earthlings, probably aid from other worlds,"

Ye Jingtian could tell from their appearance and attire that these people were definitely not Earthlings.

"With so much aid joining at once, while it’s good news, can they be trusted? It’s not that I doubt Li Yi, but I question these people’s standing," said Li Yugang, who also held S-level privileges, expressing his concern.

After all, his entire family was inside the survival base, and he was more concerned about its safety than anyone else.

"If not them, trusting Li Yi is enough," said Ye Jingtian, "In these special times, nothing can be absolutely guaranteed. Even Zhang Tianxing, who we knew inside out, was corrupted and almost caused a disaster."

"These people came across worlds. As long as they have no hostility, they’re even cleaner than any Earthlings. Let them in; I’ll instruct the Sixth Generation Intelligent Brain, Xiaofei, to recreate new identities for them. From now on, they’re Earthlings."

His approach was bold, but owing to his trust in Li Yi and the urgency of the current situation, he needed a batch of substantial experts to join the survival base.

Others, hearing Ye Jingtian speak and with Li Yi’s powerful backing, also had no objections.

Soon.

Li Yi led more than twenty experts from the End of Dharma Period into the survival base.

"Li Yi, I knew you wouldn’t disappoint. Are these the experts you invited?" Ye Jingtian, Li Yugang, Su Mu, and others appeared together to welcome them, understanding the importance of this matter.

The crowd began observing these cultivators.

First impressions were not favorable.

These people did not seem like experts; they emitted an aura of decay and death, appearing old and not as powerful as expected. Facing Great Demons was impossible; perhaps only Sky Demons could they contend with.

However, these cultivators were also observing their surroundings, watching the evolvers on Earth.

Li Yi said, "They come from the Dharma Decline World, having lost their cultivation, but their realms remain. With sufficient cosmic energy, in a few months, they will recover their cultivation, each reaching Great Demon level power. However, they need some time to recover now."

"What?"

This revelation shocked everyone.

More than twenty strong individuals with Great Demon power?

Though they had lost their cultivation now, recovery would be swift, and months would pass in the blink of an eye, affecting nothing at all.

"Li Yi, you really have control over an incredible world," said Ye Jingtian, calming down quickly after his initial shock, "A Dharma Decline World and Earth are a perfect match; one needs Spiritual Energy, and the other experts. You’ll have to be more attentive in the future."

Li Yi smiled, "These seniors are very reasonable, I guarantee they won’t be enemies. As for others in the Dharma Decline World, I can’t guarantee control."

He dared give assurances to these cultivators partly because of his own powerful strength and partly due to the Sacrifice Spell.

They may be unwilling to risk their lives for him, but they definitely wouldn’t oppose him.

"True, recruiting over twenty is already very difficult. However, the potential of a Dharma Decline World is vast. Thoroughly tapping into it might allow us to resist the invasion of a world," said Ye Jingtian in a low voice.

He hoped Li Yi would effectively utilize the Dharma Decline World. If it were him, he would certainly pull out a strong cultivation army from it, to engage in a righteous cross-world war against the Demon God Realm and the Xuanxian World.

"The road must be taken one step at a time, can’t rush," Li Yi said.

He already arranged for Master Zi Yu to recruit experts in the Dharma Decline World for future use.

"Right, can’t rush," Ye Jingtian nodded slightly, understanding that experts are often unruly, and once their strength is restored, controlling them would be uncertain.

Nevertheless, Li Yi having the confidence to control more than twenty experts was already huge good news.

"Let’s arrange a residence for the seniors first, then let them quickly understand the situation here. I’ll stay a few more days, then leave," Li Yi said.

"Alright, I got it, leave it to me," Ye Jingtian immediately instructed Xiaofei, the Intelligent Brain, to register new identities for them while granting them the lowest permission,

As for the residence.

They were arranged to stay in the building where Li Yi lived.

At this moment, the experts said nothing, letting Li Yi handle everything. They were new here and needed to act low-key, and knowing their task was to guard this city, they had no objections.

Soon.

Li Yi brought these cultivation experts to their new home.

"Seniors, although it’s a bit cramped here, it is a good place for cultivation; you’ll stay here for some time,"

he addressed the group.

"It’s quite good here, with an otherworldly aspect, and the Spiritual Energy is abundant, like a Cave Heaven Blessed Land."

"It’s much better than the End of Dharma; no reason to be picky."

"Haha, humble me actually like it here."

At this moment, the cultivation experts were in high spirits.

"I will soon be leaving this place, seniors, your strength has not yet recovered, caution should be your priority. I will leave each of you a bottle of Life Water for emergencies, and besides that, I will also leave a Red Gold Divine Sword," Li Yi said, waving his hand, and a Red Gold Divine Sword appeared from the Five Elements Bracelet.

"I will leave one Red Gold Divine Sword because these cross-world cultivators come empty-handed. Whoever encounters a strong enemy can cooperate and use it for defense. But the others need not be disappointed; Tian Gong Taoist is creating Red Gold Dao Artifacts elsewhere. In the future, each senior will get one. Maybe two or three,"

He left a Red Gold Divine Sword because these cross-world cultivation experts had nothing, but if he gave away one to each now, then what about the future?

Moreover, they hadn’t done anything for Li Yi yet.

While the cultivators’ eyes suddenly gleamed upon hearing this, knowing Tian Gong Taoist was crafting Red Gold Dao Artifacts made them inexplicably excited.

"Let’s first arrange a living space for all seniors, let them get to know the situation here soon. I will stay a few more days, then I will leave," said Li Yi.

Other cultivators expressed no objections after hearing Ye Jingtian speak, combined with Li Yi’s guaranteed powerful strength.
