220. Chapter 220: Mythical Creatures

After some discussion, Li Yi believed that everyone's idea was correct: become a cross-dimensional traveler first, at least there would be a guarantee for the future. As for entering the Golden Academy, that could only be completed through his own efforts later.

After thinking it through, he immediately contacted Zhang Lei and told him his thoughts.

"Okay, I will convey the matter of the cross-dimensional traveler to the high-level officials of the Investigation Bureau. I believe there will be a result soon. Rest well during this recent period and prepare for the cross-dimensional travel. After you left, I received some news and it has been confirmed that there will be a cross-dimensional operation in about six days. I don't know the specific process yet, but if you can join, I believe you will get a reply in three days," Zhang Lei said.

Li Yi said, "A cross-dimensional operation in six days? Is it that urgent?"

"I don't know about this either. Perhaps you will know more information after you become a cross-dimensional traveler," Zhang Lei said.

"I understand, then contact me immediately when there is news."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and then he looked at the others in the hall: "Everyone has heard it. If everything goes smoothly, the cross-dimensional operation will begin in six days."

"A cross-dimensional operation? It's really exciting to hear. We're going to another unknown world," Lin Yue said with some excitement at this moment. "It's a pity that only you, Li Yi, are going this time. If I could accompany you to see it, that would be great. To be honest, I'm still very interested in crossing dimensions."

Li Yi laughed, "Lin Jie, don't worry, you will definitely be able to cross dimensions in the future."

He felt that after he returned this time, he could take Lin Jie to the Four Seas and Eight Continents for a tour, and at the same time let Lin Jie learn martial arts more systematically and improve her strength.

"I'll take your word for it," Lin Jie said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhao Lingfu said, "Li Yi, since you are going to cross dimensions, you should make more preparations. After all, you are heading to an unknown place, and personal safety is very important."

"That makes sense. I do need to make some preparations in these few days. In addition, cultivation cannot stop. I'll see if I can break through to the Spirit Perception Realm during this period. I already have an intuition; it seems I'm not far from Spirit Perception," Li Yi said.

"You already have an intuition? Your body's evolution speed is really fast," Lin Yue was very surprised. One had to know that not much time had passed since Li Yi broke through to Inspiration. According to normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Li Yi to break through to Spirit Perception within at least half a year.

Li Yi said, "Perhaps it has something to do with the increase in my cultivation value. The higher the value, the faster the evolution speed. I suggest that you all go to the training base during this recent period and use the White Bone Contemplation mural for cultivation. If you can suddenly break through the illusion, your cultivation value can also be improved. Lin Jie, you go and arrange this matter. After the teammates' strength is improved, we will have the confidence to do anything later."

"Okay, I know what to do," Lin Yue nodded, and then looked at the others.

At this moment, Lu Jue, Fang Hang, Cheng Pingfang, and Zhao Xiaoxiao were all a bit excited. They didn't expect that they could still benefit from using the Mystic Object for cultivation. If they could really improve their cultivation value, then their chances of becoming Spirit Perception experts in the future would be very high. Thinking of this, they felt that investing in Li Yi was really a correct decision.

However, after Li Yi gave some instructions, he didn't stay in the hall. He returned to the room on the top floor, preparing to cultivate well for these few days to see if he could improve his strength before crossing dimensions.

Whether it was a breakthrough in martial arts realm or physical evolution, it was very important to him.

Without much thought.

Li Yi quickly pinched the treasure seal, performed the White Bone Contemplation technique, and then sat with his eyes closed.

The cosmic energy in the Dao coin was guided into his body. With the absorption of a large amount of cosmic energy, his body entered evolution again.

"My cultivation value seems to have improved again..." After being in a coma for ten days, Li Yi discovered that the speed at which his body absorbed cosmic energy had become faster, and this change was very obvious. Even without deliberate testing, he could feel that his cultivation value had undergone a significant change.

"Before I took the Soul-Returning Pill, my cultivation value was at least six hundred percent, but now, my cultivation value is at least eight hundred percent. What is going on? How could it change so much all of a sudden?"

Li Yi was somewhat suspicious and uncertain.

He knew that his cultivation value would improve slowly, but improving so much in one go was unreasonable.

After thinking about it, Li Yi felt that there was only one possibility for his cultivation value to improve so obviously, and that was that he had broken through to the Meridian Cultivation Realm before, his body's potential had been stimulated, and besides that, after his soul was injured, he had taken many Soul-Returning Pills to repair the injury, and his soul strength had changed.

The dual transformation of body and soul was what led to the explosion of his cultivation value.

Although Li Yi had abolished his martial arts cultivation now and dropped back to the peak of the Blood Cultivation Realm, the realm was gone, but the body's potential had been preserved.

This discovery made Li Yi somewhat excited. He was now curious, if he returned to the Meridian Cultivation Realm again, would his body's potential continue to increase?

After all, he was at the six-meridian cultivation level before. What if he opened nine meridians?

Li Yi felt that this possibility was very high.

Moreover, this time his cultivation value had increased to eight hundred percent, which was very close to the one thousand percent required to enter the Golden Academy. As long as he worked a little harder and improved his martial arts realm again, he could completely rely on himself to enter the Golden Academy.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Yi continued to enter meditation and cultivation.

This cultivation lasted for a full three days. During these three days, his harvest was great. His body strength obviously increased, and besides that, his own Qi and blood had accumulated to the level of six meridians again. As long as three or four more days passed, his Qi and blood would be enough, and he could open the nine major meridians and return to the Meridian Cultivation Realm.

"Li Yi, your cross-dimensional traveler quota has been decided. At twelve noon three days from now, the Investigation Bureau will send a helicopter to pick you up. Prepare for departure." This afternoon, Zhang Lei made a phone call to tell Li Yi an important piece of news.

"Okay, I understand," Li Yi replied.

Everything was as planned; an unknown cross-dimensional operation would begin in three days.

Li Yi felt both curious and a bit excited in his heart.

What kind of world would be waiting for him?

Could he also learn the cultivation methods of another world?

However, thinking that there were still three days left, Li Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart. After telling Lin Jie and the others this news, he continued to cultivate.

However, this evening.

The sky above Tianchang City was somewhat abnormal. It clearly wasn't the thunderstorm season, but there were streaks of lightning in the night sky, and the deafening sound of thunder was endless, lighting up the original night sky as if it were broad daylight. Such an abnormality made people afraid and also made cultivators feel uneasy.

"Boom~!"

A thunderbolt slid across the sky outside Li Yi's top floor, and the scorching lightning struck a large tree nearby downstairs, instantly splitting the tree into two halves, and then it ignited the branches, starting a raging fire.

"What's going on?"

Zheng Lan in the Peace Financial Building was awakened, and she immediately investigated the situation.

Because the last Demon Extermination operation had ended, the people living in the Peace Financial Building had all gone back. Some cultivators and Lin Yue and others had gone to the training base for cultivation. Now, here it had returned to its previous desolate state, with only Zheng Lan left to manage this building.

"The trees outside were struck by lightning and caught fire."

Zheng Lan saw the situation outside and wanted to go and put out the fire, but stopped when she reached the door because lightning was striking randomly outside, and she was afraid that if she went out to put out the fire, she would be struck dead by lightning herself.

However, fortunately, the fire didn't burn for too long and went out by itself after a while.

This made Zheng Lan breathe a sigh of relief.

But she was still worried, so she looked around the building to make sure there were no abnormalities elsewhere before she felt at ease.

However, just at this moment, as a thunderbolt slid across the sky, Zheng Lan saw a figure in the sky illuminated by the lightning, reflected on the ground. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, she clearly saw that the figure was exceptionally large, and it had wings on its back, looking like a humanoid creature.

That thing was very fast, chasing after the lightning, and let out a sharp cry.

"What is that? An extraordinary creature?"

Although Zheng Lan wasn't a cultivator, she still understood some basic knowledge. Thinking of this, she immediately took the elevator to tell Li Yi this news.

An extraordinary creature wandering near the Peace Financial Building was not good news.

She arrived at the top floor and, regardless of politeness, used her authority to open the door to Li Yi's room, but was startled. Outside the glass window opposite, that huge extraordinary creature was actually flapping its wings, hovering in mid-air, and a pair of bright golden vertical pupils looked at Li Yi, who was meditating and cultivating in the room.

It seemed to be sizing Li Yi up, with a hint of curiosity in its eyes.

Perhaps because Zheng Lan's scream disturbed the extraordinary creature outside.

Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, that huge figure turned into a stream of light, chasing after the lightning, darting into the clouds, and disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

And Li Yi also woke up from his meditation at this moment.

"Zheng Lan, what happened?"

Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes at this moment. He had been meditating very deeply just now, and coupled with the soundproofing of the top floor, he hadn't been awakened by the sounds outside, but was instead awakened by Zheng Lan's scream.

"Li Yi, it's very abnormal outside today, and just now I seemed to see an extraordinary creature appear outside the building," Zheng Lan's eyes flashed with panic and unease.

"There's such a thing?" Li Yi frowned and looked out the window.

Sure enough.

This night, Tianchang City was very abnormal. Lightning was intertwined, shaking the firmament, as if the sky was being torn apart by a great force. This was definitely not a normal thunderstorm day because there was no sign of rain outside at all.

Such a scene reminded Li Yi of the Heaven Tilting event ten years ago.

"It shouldn't be the Heaven Tilting event. This is some local disaster," Li Yi frowned and looked into the distance.

However, he discovered that outside Tianchang City, everything was normal, and there was no such abnormal phenomenon.

"Lin Jie said that Earth has now entered a region rich in cosmic energy, and powerful cosmic energy will distort space-time, allowing two worlds that were originally far apart to have brief contact and collision..." Li Yi's eyes flickered. Through the lightning, he looked into the depths of the clouds, and in a trance, he saw some magnificent and imposing ancient buildings.

Magnificent and ancient.

It looked like a mirage, but these scenes disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if everything just now was an illusion. But in that brief moment, he seemed to see some things invading Earth. In the clouds, there existed some incomprehensible creatures. Those creatures chased after the lightning and flashed away.

"The cross-dimensional gate has been opened, and Earth has been invaded again," Li Yi's heart sank.

He roughly understood what had happened tonight.

Such a situation was actually not uncommon. Many extraordinary creatures and mythical creatures came to Earth this way.

Of course, if one was lucky, there would also be Mystic Objects, but this probability was very small because Mystic Objects wouldn't run around by themselves, so there were more extraordinary creatures invading Earth.

"Zheng Lan, the extraordinary creature you saw just now should have come to Earth from another world late tonight. It belongs to an unknown species. The Peace Financial Building is on a higher floor and is more likely to be targeted by some extraordinary creatures. But don't worry, I will keep watch tonight, and I will deal with any situation," Li Yi said.

However, although he spoke easily, he had no confidence in his heart.

That was an existence that dared to chase after lightning. It had likely exceeded the category of extraordinary creatures and reached the level of mythical creatures. His current realm definitely couldn't be a match for it.

It was just that he couldn't say this to ordinary people, otherwise, it would increase panic.

"Then should we notify others to take refuge?" Zheng Lan said nervously.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "No need. In addition, go help me retrieve the surveillance and see what the extraordinary creature that was wandering around the building just now was."

"Okay, I'll do it right away," Zheng Lan nodded. She immediately went to the surveillance room and began to retrieve the surveillance.

She was responsible for the renovation of the inside and outside of this building, and she knew some safety equipment like the back of her hand.

Not long after.

A relatively clear picture was sent to Li Yi's phone.

Li Yi looked at it, and his expression changed slightly.

The creature in the picture was a humanoid creature that was a full four or five meters tall, with a pair of huge wings on its back, and it was holding a golden weapon in its hand. That weapon was very special, looking like a huge metal nail, and also like a golden mace, with flowing light on it, very special.

He took the picture and began to search, and finally found a relatively similar mythical creature.

In legend, the Garuda, which feeds on dragons, holds a Vajra pestle in its hand.

"Are you kidding me? Was what appeared just now really a mythical creature?" Li Yi felt astonished, and at the same time, his back felt cold.

If such a creature attacked him, he would definitely die just now, and wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

He looked out the window again.

Li Yi didn't find the trace of the Garuda. It should have chased the lightning and left Tianchang City. However, he understood that this thing must still be lingering on Earth because the cross-dimensional gate had already disappeared, and this Garuda had no way to return to its own world and could only live on Earth.

This was also the reason why many extraordinary creatures and mythical creatures stayed on Earth.

Many times, it wasn't that they were willing to linger here, but that the opening of the cross-dimensional gate was unstable, and they couldn't go back. ===== CHAPTER 220 =====
