223. Chapter 223: Returning to Meridian Cultivation

Xu Qiu Mei's face looked very ugly at this moment.

She discovered that after she couldn't beat Li Yi, the situation would become very bad. Not only was there no way to take back Li Yi's quota, but she also had to bear the risk of being killed by Li Yi after crossing dimensions. And at this moment, everyone saw that Li Yi was not to be trifled with, and they all had a bit of distance from her.

If this continued, perhaps the thing she was most worried about would really happen.

However, at this moment, no one would pity her.

After all, the struggle for survival was always cruel. She wanted to drive Li Yi away, which was no different from driving him to his death.

It was just that the plan failed.

Zhang Xun, as the captain, didn't waste any more time on the previous conflicts. Since Li Yi demonstrated the strength of the Spirit Perception Realm, he had no reason to drive Li Yi away again, unless he could drive everyone in this team away. However, if that were the case, there would be no need for the cross-dimensional operation.

"You are all first-time cross-dimensional travelers, all novices, so there are some things you need to pay attention to before the cross-dimensional operation begins tomorrow," Zhang Xun said at this moment. "The first point, and also a very important point, is to follow orders after crossing dimensions. I don't care how you fight or kill each other, but my words are orders. If you don't obey, I have the right to kill any one of you."

"If you are unconvinced, you can refuse this cross-dimensional operation, and I will agree."

Everyone's expression changed slightly when they heard this order.

What was this?

Was their life and death in Zhang Xun's hands? What if he saw someone he didn't like and killed them? Or what if there was some dispute or conflict, and Zhang Xun was the only one in charge and didn't allow others to refute?

However, although everyone had their own opinions, no one said it out loud.

After all, Zhang Xun was a powerhouse in the Soul Realm, and no one could beat him. For now, they could only obey obediently.

"Very good. Since you have no objections, then I will continue to the second point."

Zhang Xun said very seriously: "Once you successfully cross dimensions, no matter what kind of world you go to, don't go around killing people. Every world has its own cultivators, and there may also be some powerhouses. Even if there aren't any on the surface, they may exist in secret. Don't underestimate the foundation of a world. Even the national martial arts world I went to had thin cosmic energy and no cultivation, but the people in that world practiced national martial arts to the peak, and coupled with technological weapons, they still had the ability to kill me, a cultivator in the Soul Realm."

"If anyone acts recklessly and provokes the hostility of the people of that world, solve it yourself. It is forbidden to reveal the information of cross-dimensional travelers. Whoever leaks the secret, I'm sorry, I will kill you and make you shut up forever."

This second requirement was much easier to accept.

To put it bluntly, it was to keep a low profile. Don't think that just because you are an evolver you can act recklessly, otherwise, you would inexplicably provoke enemies, set yourself on fire, and destroy the cross-dimensional behavior of others, and the only way to apologize would be with death.

Zhang Xun continued: "After remembering the first two points, I will say this third point. This third point is very simple. After crossing dimensions, you must rely on yourself for any actions. Don't try to seek help from me, and don't try to drag others into the water. We are explorers, adventurers, not babysitters. There is no need to take care of you, so you must integrate into the new world and survive, and then understand and adapt as soon as possible."

"Although these rules are all heartless, you must know that behind every rule are bloody lessons. Finally, to summarize, the three requirements for crossing dimensions: listen to orders, keep a low profile, and rely on yourself."

"After remembering these three points, I won't say much about other matters related to crossing dimensions. You can read the manual yourself when you rest at night."

"The meeting ends here. Gather in the conference room again at eleven o'clock tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Zhang Xun turned and left immediately, without any intention of continuing to linger here.

However, following the departure of this Soul Realm powerhouse, several cultivators felt a slight relief in their hearts. After all, being managed by such a person still brought some pressure. They weren't Li Yi, who actually dared to swing a punch at Zhang Xun and was completely fine.

Although they all knew that it was impossible for Zhang Xun to make a move on a cross-dimensional traveler, knowing was one thing, and daring to make a move was another.

"Li Yi, is it possible that you really want to fight me to the death?" Xu Qiu Mei stared at Li Yi and said at this moment.

Hmm?

Li Yi's expression sank: "Does this sound like I'm looking for trouble with you? Isn't it you who has been looking for trouble with me? Back in Tianchang City, you relied on your high realm to make a move on me, wanting to give me a warning. Now that we accidentally ran into each other here, you still want to take my quota. Now you actually say this. It's really shameless enough."

"Now everyone is a cross-dimensional traveler. If you keep holding onto this grudge, it's really unnecessary. Our attention should be on dealing with the dangers of the new world, not on internal strife," Xu Qiu Mei said. "I am willing to reconcile with you. Let's treat what happened before as if it never happened. What do you think?"

"Reconcile? Alright, after you die, I will sign a reconciliation agreement next to your corpse," Li Yi said.

Xu Qiu Mei said somewhat angrily: "Don't go too far."

"If you want to reconcile, then show some sincerity for reconciliation. Kneel down and kowtow to me a few times, and I can treat it as if nothing happened. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Compared to your own life, kowtowing a few times shouldn't be difficult," Li Yi said.

"You arrogant guy." Xu Qiu Mei was furious.

"You evil woman," Li Yi retorted without any politeness.

Xu Qiu Mei's breathing was a bit rapid. She said: "Since that's the case, then let's fight to the death. Let no one have a good time. I hope you don't regret it by then."

"I only regret that I started cultivating a little late, otherwise, I should have slaughtered you the first time you made a move on me. I actually let you live for so long, which is really very sorry. However, I don't want to continue arguing with you now. After crossing dimensions tomorrow, the grudge between us will naturally be settled," Li Yi finished speaking and turned to leave.

Xu Qiu Mei understood that no matter what, Li Yi couldn't let her go. The only way to solve this matter was that one of them must die.

If it were just her, she had no way to deal with Li Yi at all.

If she wanted to win, she had to find a helper.

Realizing this, Xu Qiu Mei looked around at the others. If she could get others to join forces with her, then Li Yi would definitely die.

However, who here was willing to join forces and cooperate with her?

Xu Qiu Mei began to ponder in her heart.

And after Li Yi left the conference room, he went to a dormitory to rest under the guidance of the staff. On the table in the dormitory was a cross-dimensional traveler manual. He flipped through it once. It was all about precautions, and after remembering them, he put it down. Since he had stabilized his identity as a cross-dimensional traveler, he should cultivate well in the remaining time, striving to improve his strength in a short period. This incident made him understand that without strength, he would be suppressed and belittled wherever he went.

"Let's break through the martial arts realm to the Meridian Cultivation Realm first. I can feel that I can accumulate enough Qi and blood tonight."

Li Yi drank a bottle of nutritional liquid at this moment, replenished his nutrition, and then mobilized his Qi and blood to fill the last meridian.

This process was familiar and easy, with no difficulty.

Everything was exactly as he had anticipated. At about one o'clock in the morning, his Qi and blood had accumulated enough.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yi directly mobilized his Qi and blood to break through the barrier.

In an instant.

A wave of Qi and blood heat emanated from his body, and at the same time, the sound of a heartbeat like a muffled drum echoed in the dormitory. This sound was even louder than when he broke through before, which proved that Li Yi's physical constitution had become stronger. Moreover, after recultivating martial arts, his potential had been stimulated, and this breakthrough was much easier than before.

The nine major meridians rang together, and the surging Qi and blood connected into one piece. Subsequently, a force of Qi and blood surged out, circling around Li Yi's body, as if forming a visible protective aura, wrapping him tightly within it.

The Qi and blood aura of the Meridian Cultivation Realm wasn't originally thick, but Li Yi opened the nine major meridians, so his Qi and blood were too majestic, causing him to now look like a powerhouse in the Aura Cultivation Realm, with majestic aura spraying out with every move. Such an aura made even Spirit Perception Realm cultivators not dare to approach easily, otherwise, they would be seriously injured by the aura.

"Martial artists of the Four Seas and Bazhou breaking through to the Meridian Cultivation Realm are afraid that their Qi and blood are insufficient, leading to breakthrough failure and severe injury. But I am different. The physical constitution of an evolver is too high, and the Qi and blood are too vigorous. Breaking through to Meridian Cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking, with no difficulty at all. It's just a pity that I only have the method to open the nine major meridians, but no cultivation method for Aura Cultivation. It seems that after returning from this cross-dimensional travel, I have to go to the Four Seas and Bazhou and make a deal with Fan Zhizhou, the City Lord of Sanyang City, to get the Aura Cultivation method."

Li Yi thought to himself, and at the same time, he stood up suddenly, his Qi and blood surging, his fist aura reappearing. His powerful strength made him want to let out a long whistle.

However, he still resisted the urge to vent.

He had to be low-key now and hide his strength. At this time, other cross-dimensional travelers probably wouldn't dream that his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds overnight.

"If I break through to the Spirit Perception Realm, I don't know if I can fight with a Soul Realm powerhouse relying on my martial arts cultivation... I don't know much about Soul Realm powerhouses and don't know the special nature of this realm. I have to ask Sister Lin another day; she knows more information than I do."

Li Yi's eyes flickered, and he actually had the urge to challenge a Soul Realm powerhouse again.

During the day, the strength Zhang Xun displayed was only the tip of the iceberg. He believed that the terrifying degree of a Soul Realm powerhouse was far more than that. Just like Spirit Perception, who could have imagined that a Spirit Perception expert could even dodge bullets and possess the ability to almost predict danger?

After his strength broke through, he continued to cultivate, calming his Qi and blood, and at the same time performing the White Bone Contemplation technique.

However, after returning to the Meridian Cultivation Realm again, Li Yi's cultivation value didn't change, still eight hundred percent as he had estimated.

Obviously, the potential had already been squeezed out during the first breakthrough, and recultivating martial arts couldn't change the cultivation value.

If he wanted to improve his cultivation value again, he had to reach the Aura Cultivation Realm, or continue to take Soul-Returning Pills.

Li Yi wasn't disappointed. He just continued to cultivate silently, accumulating strength, hoping to have more confidence after crossing dimensions to a new world tomorrow, increasing his survival ability, so as not to be insufficient in strength and be passive everywhere. ===== CHAPTER 223 =====
