Chapter 504

Under the Great Wind-Summoning Art.

The effect did not seem particularly significant; Li Yi's strike did not finish off these three Nascent Soul cultivators. Although he injured some of them, he had no way to completely take their lives.

It seems the Great Wind-Summoning Art is not suitable for circulating the Metal Qi in the lungs.

Li Yi had a sudden realization at this moment.

This technique is still better paired with the Fire Qi in the heart; fire borrows the wind's momentum, penetrating every crevice, burning a person's five internal organs and incinerating their Primordial Spirit. Isn't this much stronger than the sword rain formed by Metal Qi?

After all, only in actual combat can one test the merits and flaws of a spell.

However, these three Nascent Soul cultivators did not know Li Yi's thoughts. At this moment, they were already quite disheveled just from blocking this strike, and the middle-aged Daoist had even lost an arm, suffering a significant, heavy injury.

"What a terrifying spell. Fortunately, its power was slightly weaker, otherwise, my life would have been forfeit." Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged Daoist's face. He was very fortunate to still be alive, and he looked at his junior brother and junior sister.

They were also unharmed.

They had many defensive magic treasures on them, and they had activated two or three at once, protecting their bodies, which ensured they were safe.

"We cannot let this person cast spells again. Entangle him and find an opportunity to finish him off. If that doesn't work, we must at least stall for time. Once we start fighting, the Floating Immortal Island will surely notice. When the time comes and we bring our Master to assist, this Li Yi will undoubtedly die." The man in brocade robes transmitted his voice via spiritual sense, then he let out a loud shout and transformed into a streak of escape light, lunging straight at him.

"Good, let's do that." The middle-aged Daoist endured the pain and responded, then followed along to attack.

That female Nascent Soul cultivator named Qin Mei did not say much either; she took out a small flying knife. After infusing it with magic power, the flying knife instantly disappeared, transforming into an obscure cold light that headed straight for Li Yi.

"Forget it, I won't play with you anymore, lest things drag on and lead to complications. I'll send you on your way now." Li Yi was expressionless at this moment. He no longer used Daoist arts, but instead controlled the Profound Yellow Seal.

Accompanied by a talisman above his head erupting with divine light.

The next moment.

That man in brocade robes instantly let out a terrified scream. The protective magic treasures on his body shattered one after another, and his body also vanished into nothingness under the illumination of the divine light.

This Nascent Soul cultivator was killed instantly under the might of the Daoist treasure.

"How could this be..." That middle-aged Daoist was completely terrified.

With the opponent's magic treasure being so terrifying, how could they fight?

Perhaps a Precious Treasure would have a chance to put up a fight.

But they were all cultivators from small sects; having a high-grade spirit treasure was already considered decent. Where would they get a Precious Treasure?

Another beam of divine light enveloped them; there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

The middle-aged Daoist let out a miserable cry, his body shattered on the spot, and then it was rapidly eroded by a terrifying force, turning into green smoke and dissipating right there.

"Spare my life."

The female Nascent Soul cultivator named Qin Mei saw this and was so scared that she didn't say a word, immediately kneeling in mid-air, fearing that the next talisman would descend upon her and snuff out her life directly.

Li Yi looked at her.

But the next moment, a cold light attacked, only to see a flying knife of spirit treasure grade blocked by a talisman before her eyes, shattering instantly.

"Not bad, you still know how to play dirty tricks, but unfortunately, it's useless." Li Yi said.

"Spare my life, I am willing to serve you as my master, as a slave or a maid." Qin Mei lowered her head in terror and said hurriedly.

Here it comes.

The old tradition of the Profound Immortal Continent.

If you can't beat them, become a slave or a maid.

Li Yi said: "Don't be a slave or a maid. You people of the Profound Immortal Continent are inherently treacherous; it's better if you just die."

His gaze flashed.

The next moment, boundless light erupted.

This female Nascent Soul cultivator who was begging for mercy was instantly suppressed and killed, not even leaving a corpse behind, avoiding the possibility of her Nascent Soul escaping.

After finishing off these three people, Li Yi then picked up his phone unhurriedly and dialed Old Daoist Wu's number.

The two connected via video call once again.

"Sorry, there was a situation just now, but everything is normal now. The Golden Apple will be delivered soon. Tell the Immortal Aunt to hold on a little longer."

At this moment, Old Daoist Wu in the video said again: "Tai Yi, if there is a situation on your end, you can use the Daoist treasure Yin-Yang Creation Cauldron. That Daoist treasure has an artifact spirit, and after these days of nourishment, it has recovered some of its power. Using it to fend off enemies at a critical moment will have miraculous effects. However, for the sake of safety, Tai Yi, you should wait one more day, and let me, the old Daoist, free up my hands."

"The matter on my end is not a big deal, Senior, no need to worry. Moreover, I have a Daoist treasure to protect me; I don't take ordinary enemies seriously." Li Yi said.

"That's good, but next time you open the Cross-Boundary Gate, you should bring more people to avoid any accidents." Old Daoist Wu suggested.

Li Yi said: "To cross boundaries, I need to use a complete Mystic Object. The Mystic Objects in my hands are insufficient, and I still need to collect a few more."

"You don't need to worry about that, Tai Yi. I, the old Daoist, have collected two incomplete Mystic Objects in my hands now. I will have Shanyi help bring them back to you later. The Golden Academy has also promised to gift me a complete Mystic Object, but the time is not yet right and it hasn't been sent over yet; we still need to wait for a period of time." Old Daoist Wu said.

"Two incomplete Mystic Objects? That's great." Li Yi's eyes lit up instantly.

He currently has the Seven-Colored Stone and the World Heart in his hands. If he adds an incomplete Mystic Object, he can open the Cross-Boundary Gate again. By then, whether it's returning to the Cultivation World, going to World No. 36, or going to the unknown world where his father went missing, he can do it all.

Old Daoist Wu said: "This is what I, the old Daoist, should do. I hope that next time Senior Elder Cang Erzi returns, he can bring back some Age Pills to help you, Tai Yi, break through to the Five Qi Realm as soon as possible... Alright, Tai Yi, I, the old Daoist, need to continue channeling cosmic energy for the Immortal Aunt, I can't chat anymore. I will feed the Golden Apple you sent to the Immortal Aunt in time."

After speaking, the black energy in the video expanded a bit more, which made Old Daoist Wu hurriedly hang up the phone and begin to cast the Five-Colored Luo Heaven Great Art, gathering the Five Qi of heaven and earth to continue washing the Immortal Aunt's Dao body and weakening the dark energy.

At that time, these dark energies were like maggots attached to the bone, parasitizing everything, and the more cosmic energy brought in, the greater the pollution.

If this continues, even he, a cultivation expert, would struggle to hold on.

Fortunately.

A moment later, a loud, clear cry rang out.

Shanyi, having departed from Tianchang City, had now arrived at the Golden Academy and quickly rushed into the cultivation room at No. 64, District C.

This cultivation room was transformed from the Daoist treasure Tianyi Palace, containing a cave heaven within, which was extraordinarily miraculous.

After entering Tianyi Palace, Shanyi quickly found Old Daoist Wu and took out an apple emitting a golden halo from his storage magic treasure.

"Is this the Golden Apple that Tai Yi mentioned?" Old Daoist Wu waved his hand, took it, and investigated it for a while.

A tiny fruit contained vast Five-Element Metal Qi. If used by a cultivator at the Five Qi Realm, this one piece could probably save ten years of bitter cultivation, easily breaking through the barrier of Metal Qi. Moreover, it seemed to contain the bloodline aura of some kind of living creature, and this aura mutually restrained the dark energy.

"This should also be a treasure from the Dark World."

Old Daoist Wu had a rough guess in his heart, and then, holding a wait-and-see attitude, he directly struck the Golden Apple into the abdomen of Xuanyuezi, who was filled with black energy.

Soon.

It was seen that the dark energy on Xuanyuezi's body dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, her body was still emitting golden light. Under the illumination of the golden light, some blood-colored patterns on Xuanyuezi's fair skin began to recede, and her condition was improving rapidly.

Not long after.

Xuanyuezi suddenly opened her eyes. She suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a clump of strange black hair that was stripped from her body.

This hair wriggled, and several eyes emerged on it, each revealing different emotions, whether greed, violence, or jealousy.

"What an evil thing." Old Daoist Wu on the side said in surprise.

The three-eyed fur ball was now scurrying back and forth on the ground, seemingly wanting to escape, but soon it was taken into a crystal gourd by Old Daoist Wu, who intended to study it later.

"This time I really lost all face. I was ambushed by an evil god just as I was leaving, and I almost ended up buried in that dark land." Xuanyuezi's gaze returned to clarity at this moment. The darkness on the flower of magic power above her head gradually receded. Although her vitality was severely damaged, at least the pain of that dark erosion was relieved.

"Fortunately, Tai Yi obtained the Golden Apple, otherwise I would have had to abandon my body, destroy the flower of magic power, and reincarnate to cultivate again."

She sighed faintly.

If she reincarnated to cultivate again, her strength would be gone, and the cost was not insignificant.

"Earth is full of crises, and the danger of some creatures even exceeds our cognition." Old Daoist Wu said: "We are top experts in the Cultivation World, it's true, but here, there are still many existences that can threaten us. Immortal Aunt, you must not be careless."

"Old Daoist Wu's reminder is correct. This time, there was indeed some carelessness involved, otherwise, how could I have been plotted against by an evil god in the darkness?" Xuanyuezi nodded slightly: "By the way, what did Tai Yi want with you earlier?"

"There are some small troubles that need us to step in and help out a bit." Old Daoist Wu said.

Xuanyuezi immediately said: "Then what are you still doing here? Why don't you go and assist Tai Yi? He has forty-nine Self-Sacrifice Curses on him. If anything happens to him, we will all be finished."

"I am here saving you, Immortal Aunt, aren't I? If I, the old Daoist, leave, that dark energy cannot be restrained, and you, Immortal Aunt, will surely fall into the demonic path and become an evil god. That would be an even bigger problem." Old Daoist Wu explained.

He could not just watch a master of the Three Flowers Realm lose her mind and become an evil object.

"Now that my matter is resolved, you go quickly to assist." After Xuanyuezi finished speaking, she then said again: "Forget it, you stay here, I will go. My Cloud-Stepping Technique is faster than yours, and my condition has recovered quite a bit. As long as the darkness is expelled, I will be fine."

She stood up as she spoke, intending to perform the Cloud-Stepping and Mist-Riding Technique.

However, soon Xuanyuezi's magic power collapsed, and a sense of powerlessness surged over her whole body.

"Immortal Aunt, you have damaged your foundation and lost your lifespan, so you should rest well. If you don't consolidate your foundation and cultivate your vitality as soon as possible, you might exhaust your lifespan and die. As for Tai Yi, I, the old Daoist, am enough." After Old Daoist Wu finished speaking, he didn't waste any time, took Shanyi, and immediately set off for Tianchang City.

The two places were only a thousand miles apart, and for him, it would take only a few breaths to arrive.
