Chapter 535

After arranging some matters, Li Yi finally had no more worries. He could finally go and do some of his own things. This cross-dimensional trip was both for cultivation and to find his father. He only hoped that the world was not very dangerous; whether there was cosmic energy or not was not important.

Because Li Yi had several mystic objects on him, no matter which world he went to, it would not affect his own cultivation.

Soon.

He found a quiet place in the Golden Academy and used the cross-dimensional machine.

With the experience of the previous few times, Li Yi was now familiar with crossing dimensions. Accompanied by the Dragon Scale, the World Heart Gem, and the power supply of a defective mystic object, a light that was brilliant to the extreme shone out. The spatial wormhole in front of him was immediately opened. At the same time, according to the precise coordinate positioning, in no time at all, a corner of a world appeared before him.

"There is spiritual energy of heaven and earth, not very abundant, but not scarce either..." Li Yi's gaze flickered. He did not rush to act, but was judging the level of the world where his father was located.

The concentration of cosmic energy is the most intuitive way to feel the strength of a world's martial power.

For example, the Four Seas and Eight Continents have thin spiritual energy, so it is destined that they cannot nurture powerful existences.

Conversely, looking at the Savage World, the spiritual energy is extremely abundant, and the savage beasts and God-blood warriors within are naturally powerful; even gods exist.

"Judging from this level of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this world is mostly unable to nurture the likes of immortals and gods. Even high-level cultivators of the Three Flower Realm probably won't exist, so even if there is danger, I can handle it." After Li Yi made his judgment, he was full of confidence. He put away the cross-dimensional machine and rushed in before the cross-dimensional gate closed.

His figure flickered.

He arrived in an unknown and strange world. Li Yi was quite excited at this moment, wondering if he could successfully find his father.

After calming his mood, he began to look at the surrounding environment.

It was currently evening, the sky was dim, and there was continuous rain in the air. Although night had not yet fallen, the nearby mountains and forests were already a shade of ink, and the surroundings were dim and lightless. Li Yi himself was standing in a dense forest, surrounded by withered vines and wild grass everywhere, with old trees with tangled roots; clearly, this was a place rarely visited by humans.

Li Yi restrained his aura at this moment. He chose to act low-key, not using magic, but only activating his Gang Qi to slowly lift himself up to observe the situation around him.

His glowing eyes scanned the surroundings, wanting to determine the civilization level of this world.

If there were human activities, one would be able to see some cities or villages in any case.

Soon.

Li Yi saw a building.

That was not a modern building, but an ancient building, like a temple, standing on a lonely mountain. Moreover, it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time, appearing somewhat dilapidated. And in the temple, there was a faint firelight, and occasionally shadows moved; clearly, there were traces of human existence in that temple.

"Go and take a look."

Li Yi did not hesitate, immediately soaring into the air and heading straight for that temple.

He did not fly into the temple immediately, but landed halfway up the mountain, then walked up the mountain. At the same time, he transformed his Dao treasure, the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor, into a red feather Daoist robe, pretending to be a Daoist priest. This identity was easier for people to accept and recognize.

After all, whether in modern times or ancient times, Daoist priests have always existed.

Although Li Yi had black hair draped over his shoulders and a tall, strong build, not looking like a Daoist priest but rather like a martial artist, when traveling abroad, one gives oneself an identity; believe it or not.

At the same time.

Inside the temple, a group of people were lighting a bonfire, heating food, and drying clothes. At the same time, they took out a few sticks of incense from their carried packages, lit them in turns, and respectfully worshipped and offered incense to the statue of the god in the temple, all the while saying things about protection, offense, and care.

Everyone performed three kneelings and nine kowtows, very sincerely.

And it was strange to say.

The lit incense sticks floated straight up at this moment, and the blue smoke went straight up, disappearing into mid-air.

The leader, a middle-aged man in his forties, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's fine now. The Mountain God has already accepted our incense. Tonight, he will protect us and keep us safe. Later, take out the incense ash and sprinkle it at the door and windows. The evil ghosts and monsters in the mountains will not dare to come in. Tomorrow morning, we will continue our journey."

"Old Liu, are you sure there's really no problem? I heard before that some people slept in the wilderness at night and were lifeless when they woke up the next day," a young scholar said somewhat nervously.

The leader, called Old Liu, glared and said: "You also said it was people staying in the wilderness who were lifeless. Where is this? Is this the wilderness? This is the Mountain God Temple, protected by the Mountain God. Go to sleep with peace of mind, don't let your imagination run wild, I guarantee you will wake up safe and sound tomorrow."

The young scholar suggested again: "Old Liu, it's better to be safe. Why don't we leave two people to keep watch at night? If there is any movement, we can discover it in time." "No need, I raised a psychic field mouse, which is the most sensitive. If it encounters any danger, it will immediately perceive it in advance, which is better than anyone keeping watch."

Just as Old Liu finished speaking, suddenly, a bamboo tube at his waist vibrated violently, and a squeaking sound came from inside.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly opened the bamboo tube, only to see a white-furred field mouse dart out and immediately hide in his arms, shivering.

"Is that the psychic field mouse? Old Liu, take it out and let me see; I haven't seen it just now," the young man asked curiously.

"See my foot, something very dangerous has come up the mountain, hurry up and be on guard." Old Liu was shocked at this moment and hurriedly drew the machete at his waist, looking nervously at the outside of the temple, which was filled with continuous rain and dimness.

The others also became nervous one after another, picking up their sentry sticks and hunting bows.

"Old Liu, did we encounter a monster?" someone asked in a low voice.

Old Liu pursed his lips: "Damn it, I'm afraid we've encountered something even more terrifying than a monster this time. My psychic field mouse is shivering and darting straight into my heart. Last time I encountered that thousand-pound tiger, there wasn't such a commotion. I hope it's just something from the mountain passing by and won't come to this Mountain God Temple."

"Old Liu, it's bad, the incense has gone out." Suddenly, a young woman, dressed like someone from the martial arts world, pointed in horror at the incense in the censer.

The incense that had been burning well just before, for some reason, all went out at the same time.

Old Liu felt his heart go cold: "The Mountain God doesn't even dare to accept our incense. I have traveled everywhere for more than twenty years, and this is the first time I have seen such a situation."

The young woman also felt uneasy and hurriedly picked up a torch to try to light the incense.

It was strange to say; clearly, the incense was not damp, but every stick could not be lit. Even when burned on the torch, not a trace of blue smoke came out even when the incense broke.

"Stop burning it, I'm afraid this incense won't light up. Hurry up and take the remaining incense ash and sprinkle it on yourselves. The women hide behind the statue of the god. I hope the Mountain God here, seeing that he accepted half a stick of our incense, can still protect us a little," Old Liu said. His hand gripping the machete was trembling slightly.

The two women in the team hurriedly pinched the remaining incense ash, smeared it on their faces, sprinkled it on their bodies, and then hid behind the statue of the god.

The remaining four men all looked outside the temple with nervous expressions.

"Stay calm, don't run around. Within a radius of twenty miles, only this temple can be used for shelter. Now that night has fallen, if you are scared and run out of here, you will die faster outside," Old Liu shouted again, stabilizing these people so they wouldn't scatter in a panic, which would cause trouble even if there wasn't any.

The crowd did not speak, and it was unknown if they had taken these words to heart.

But soon.

A steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside the temple, as if someone was walking up the steps with big strides, heading straight here.

Not long after.

Everyone saw a young Daoist priest wearing a red feather Daoist robe and looking extraordinary appear in their line of sight.

"You scared me, it's just a traveling Daoist." The scholar's tense heart relaxed immediately upon seeing this.

"What a Daoist, traveling in the evening, truly bold." Someone also put away their sentry stick and lowered their guard.

However, Old Liu was suspicious and uncertain, because although he had led the way for so many years and had seen many Daoists, the person in front of him was completely different from the Daoists he had seen in the past. His attire, temperament, and demeanor were definitely not those of an ordinary person. Most importantly, it was raining outside, yet this Daoist's body was not stained with rain, and the pair of red cloud boots on his feet didn't even have any mud.

Is this really a Daoist, or a monster from the wilderness that has gained power and cast an illusion to trick people into eating them?

While they were sizing up Li Yi, Li Yi also sized them up.

Judging from the appearance of these people, there is no doubt that this is a world similar to ancient times.

Moreover, these people had no cultivation and were all ordinary people. Their blood and energy were not vigorous, and the weapons in their hands were very simple, all being ordinary sentry sticks and machetes. Although they had some martial arts, they were still not worth looking at.

It was the statue of the god...

Li Yi raised his head and looked at the statue of the god in the middle of the temple. The seemingly mud-sculpted statue emitted energy light in his eyes. This kind of light could not be seen by ordinary people; only evolvers could see it.
