Chapter 535

After arranging some matters, Li Yi finally had no worries and could finally do some things of his own. This cross-dimensional journey was both for cultivation and for searching for his father; he only hoped that the world wouldn't be too dangerous, and whether it had cosmic energy didn't matter.

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 very familiar with crossing dimensions. Accompanied by the Dragon Scale, the World Heart Gem, and the power supply of a defective mystic object, a brilliant light shone out, and the spatial wormhole before him was opened immediately. At the same time, according to the precise coordinate positioning, in no time at all, a corner of a world was presented 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 determining 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 beings.

Conversely, the Savage World has extremely abundant spiritual energy; the savage beasts and divine-blooded warriors within are naturally powerful, and even gods exist.

"Judging from the current level of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this world probably cannot nurture immortals or gods. Even if there are cultivation experts at the Three-Flower Realm, there probably won't be many, so even if there is danger, I can handle it." After Li Yi made his judgment, he was full of confidence, 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 it was raining continuously in the air. Although it was not yet night, the nearby mountains and forests were already ink-colored, 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 and did not use magic spells, 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, he would be able to see some cities or villages no matter what.

Soon.

Li Yi saw a building.

It was not a modern building but an ancient one, 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. In the temple, there was a faint firelight, and occasionally shadows moved; clearly, there were traces of human existence in the temple.

"Let's go take a look."

Li Yi did not hesitate; he immediately soared into the air and headed straight for the temple.

He did not fly directly into the temple but landed immediately when he reached the mountainside, then walked up the mountain. At the same time, he transformed the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor on his body into a red-feathered Daoist robe, pretending to be a Daoist priest, as 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 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 was lighting a bonfire, heating food, and drying clothes. They also took out a few sticks of incense from their carry-on bags, lighting them in turns, respectfully worshiping and offering incense to the statue in the temple, their mouths full of words about protection, offense, and care.

Everyone kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, very sincere.

And it was strange to say.

The lit incense floated straight up at this moment, the blue smoke rising directly and 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 accepted our incense and will protect us from harm tonight. Later, take out the incense ash and sprinkle it at the door and windows; the evil ghosts and demons in the mountains won't 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 dead when they woke up the next day," a young scholar said, somewhat nervously.

The leader called Old Liu glared at him and said: "You also said it was people living in the wilderness who died. Where is this? Is this the wilderness? This is the Mountain God Temple, protected by the Mountain God. Sleep in peace, 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 have two people keep watch tonight? If there's any disturbance, we can discover it in time." "No need, I raised a psychic field mouse, the most sensitive. If it encounters any danger, it will perceive it in advance immediately, better than anyone keeping watch."

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

His expression changed, and he hurriedly opened the bamboo tube, only to see a white-haired 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 yet," the young man said curiously.

"See my ass, something very dangerous has come up the mountain, get ready immediately." Old Liu was so shocked at this moment that he hurriedly drew the machete at his waist, nervously looking at the rainy, dim outside of the Mountain God Temple.

The others also became nervous one after another, picking up their whistles 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 so scared it's darting straight into my heart. Last time we encountered that thousand-pound tiger, there wasn't such a reaction. I hope it's just something from the mountain passing by and won't come to this Mountain God Temple."

"Old Liu, this is 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 burner.

The incense that had been burning perfectly fine just a moment ago had all gone out simultaneously, for no apparent reason.

Seeing this, Old Liu's heart went cold: "The Mountain God doesn't even dare to accept our incense. I've been traveling for more than twenty years, and this is the first time I've seen such a situation."

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

It was strange to say; clearly, the incense was not damp, but every stick refused to light. Even when burned on the torch, the incense broke without a wisp of blue smoke floating out.

"Stop burning it, I'm afraid this incense won't light anymore. Hurry up and take the remaining incense ash and sprinkle it on yourselves. The women hide behind the statue; I hope the Mountain God here will protect us a little for the sake of the half-stick of incense we offered," Old Liu said. His hand gripping the machete was trembling slightly.

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

The remaining four men all looked outside the temple nervously.

"Stay calm, don't run around. Within a twenty-mile radius, only this temple is a place to stay. Now that night has fallen, if you are scared and run out of here, you will die even faster outside," Old Liu shouted again, stabilizing these people so they wouldn't scatter in a panic, as that would lead to disaster even if there wasn't one.

The crowd remained silent, not knowing 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 stairs in large strides, heading straight here.

Not long after.

Everyone saw a young Daoist priest wearing a red-feathered robe, looking extraordinary, appear in their line of sight.

"You scared me; it's just a traveling Daoist priest." Seeing this, the scholar's tense heart relaxed immediately.

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

However, Old Liu was suspicious. Because he had been a guide for so many years, although he had seen many Daoist priests, the person before him was completely different from any he had seen before. His attire, temperament, and demeanor were definitely not those of an ordinary person. Most importantly, it was raining outside, yet this Daoist priest's body was not stained with rainwater, and the pair of red cloud boots under his feet didn't even have mud on them.

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

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

Judging from their appearance, there was no doubt that this was 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 ordinary whistles and machetes. Although they had some martial arts, they were still not worth mentioning.

But that statue...

Li Yi looked up at the statue in the middle of the temple. The seemingly clay statue emitted energy light in his eyes. This kind of light could not be seen by ordinary people; only evolvers could see it.
