Chapter 683: Goddess Crosses the Boundary

When Li Yi and the others returned to Red Shancheng once more, the number of people in the city had already dwindled.

＿￠〇

Because Li Yi had driven away all the slaves and mountain-guarding warriors within Red Gold Mountain, and many warriors represented a family behind them; some warriors even possessed many slaves, followers, and retainers in Red Shancheng.

Their departure naturally meant a large group of people would leave with them.

And because of this reason, many merchant lords, fearing subsequent liquidation, also chose to leave temporarily.

This caused the once bustling and prosperous Red Shancheng to suddenly become deserted.

However, this was a good thing for Li Yi. The secrets within Red Gold Mountain were too great; the fewer people who lingered here, the better. He felt that his decision to drive those people away was correct.

It was just that a city without order and management would not do.

This place could not be abandoned. Since Li Yi had already become the Mountain Lord here, he would have to live, settle down, and cultivate here in the future. If it were just abandoned like this, it would surely be very inconvenient.

Therefore, when Li Yi returned to Red Shancheng, he immediately sought out the merchant lord who was still in the city, Nv Heng.

When Nv Heng saw Li Yi again, a look of reverence appeared in her eyes, because the current Li Yi was no longer what he used to be; he was no longer an ordinary God-Blood Warrior, but a Lord of a region.

And he was the new Red Gold Mountain Lord at that.

This change in status made her, a merchant lord of the Northern Wilderness lineage of God-Blood families, unable to help but feel eclipsed.

"Should I now address you as Mountain Lord Lord Dayi?" Nv Heng asked at this moment, her eyes slightly lowered, carrying a hint of a smile and respect.

Li Yi said, "Nv Heng, you have helped me. Now that I have taken Red Gold Mountain, it is time to repay you. Are you interested in helping me manage this Red Shancheng? I think the benefits of operating a city outweigh you going out to trade again."

Nv Heng was somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat delighted, saying, "Lord Dayi, do you want to hand over the management of Red Shancheng to me?"

"I am a warrior; I need to become stronger and fight. Managing a city is not what I am good at. If you are unwilling, I will have to invite someone else. I wonder if Merchant Lord Master Xiu Xiang would be willing to agree to this matter," Li Yi said.

He felt that to manage this city, it was best to use people local to this world; only in this way could the rules of this world be better observed.

"Master Xiu Xiang is still in God Wood City; going back and forth would waste too much time. Since you, Lord Dayi, have said so, then I will take on this task and strive to manage this Red Shancheng well for you, Lord Dayi."

Nv Heng said hurriedly, not giving Li Yi a chance to go back on his word.

"Then everything is left to you, Nv Heng," Li Yi said.

"Mountain Lord, rest assured, I will make Red Shancheng prosperous again," Nv Heng said with certainty. She was still very confident in her own abilities; after all, she was a merchant lord by background and knew how to attract merchant lords from all sides to come.

Li Yi nodded and did not say much more. Since he had chosen Nv Heng to manage Red Shancheng, he would grant her his trust.

Regarding the promises of this world, he still trusted them very much.

After entrusting this matter.

Li Yi then returned to the City Lord's Mansion once more.

Here, not only was it empty, but valuable items had all been moved into their respective storage magic treasures. Now, the City Lord's Mansion was just an empty shell, with nothing in it, but if it were used for living, it was a very good place.

"Brother Tai Yi, I need you to open the cross-boundary gate once. Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and I need to return to the Incense Fire World," Xuan Yuezi spoke up at this time. "There are three Immortal Maidens waiting for us to help reshape their physical bodies and thoroughly resurrect them."

"Now that we have Red Gold, Life Water, and God's Blood, I believe the other three Immortal Maidens will soon be able to recover."

"Good, this is a small matter. However, with the two Immortal Maidens leaving, who will sit in command of this Red Shancheng?" Li Yi asked.

Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi shot him a glare. "Brother Tai Yi, it is time to return to the Dharma-Ending World once and bring the Goddess Yun Yun Feizi and the others over. This world has abundant spiritual energy, suitable for them to quickly recover their strength. Helping you sit in command of Red Gold Mountain will certainly be no problem."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi thought for a moment, then nodded. "That makes sense. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. The cultivators of the Dharma-Ending Era cannot all stay on Earth; settling them here is also a good thing."

The situation on Earth was complex; it was better to settle down here first.

After all, the Savage World and Earth were connected; there was no need to cross boundaries. One only needed to fly along the valley where the gods were buried to reach Earth.

Subsequently, Li Yi did not waste time. He immediately set up the cross-boundary machine, used three Mystic Objects as energy sources, opened the cross-boundary gate, and connected to the Incense Fire Becoming-God World.

Because the two Immortal Maidens had important matters to attend to, they did not linger and immediately crossed the boundary and left.

After sending off Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, Li Yi once again calibrated the cross-boundary machine, re-positioned the coordinates, and opened the cross-boundary gate connecting to the Dharma-Ending Cultivation

World once more.

As the cross-boundary gate was opened.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged madly toward the Dharma-Ending Cultivation World. All things in that world had been thirsty for too long. Now that the cross-boundary gate was opened, the spiritual energy of the Savage World was being frantically plundered.

At the same time.

Outside the Treasure Court of the Dharma-Ending Cultivation World, there was a valley.

Here, a hundred flowers bloomed, birds sang and flowers smelled fragrant, and houses were orderly—a scene of a paradise beyond the world.

And behind the valley were three great mountains, with flowers blooming like lotus flowers, and upon them were majestic and imposing palaces. On the main palace, however, hung a plaque: "Brother Tai Yi Hall."

This was a foothold Li Yi had established in the Dharma-Ending Cultivation World back then.

Those living in the city were all cultivation experts who were once in the Three-Flower Realm, but now their cultivation bases had fallen, and they had been reduced to ordinary people. However, Li Yi had taught them a new method here: Martial Dao.

Although it was not enough to recover their strength, it could preserve their Qi and blood, making their bodies strong and sturdy, so they would not be without the strength to truss a chicken.

And as the cross-boundary gate opened, this valley once again received the baptism of a spiritual energy storm.

However, this situation was not the first time it had appeared.

Feeling the surge of spiritual energy, all the cultivators in the city, almost by coincidence, put down everything in their hands and desperately absorbed this hard-won spiritual energy. As long as there was spiritual energy, these cultivators could extend their lives for another period of time, so they would not die of old age and pass away.

"It is Brother Tai Yi who has opened the cross-boundary gate again. This time, he must be taking people to cross the boundary to cultivate again. Hurry to gather before Brother Tai Yi Hall."

Everyone realized this point. While absorbing spiritual energy, they used one mind for two purposes and hurriedly rushed toward Brother Tai Yi Hall.

In just a moment, thirty or forty cultivators gathered from all directions.

Meanwhile, a white and blue thunder fighter jet flew in from somewhere above the valley and hovered in front of the Brother Tai Yi Hall. As the cabin opened, Yun Yun Feizi, the Goddess of the Heavenly Dao Sect, slowly stepped down.

She had an outstanding figure, was extraordinarily beautiful, and her whole body radiated a noble temperament, like a fairy lotus, which could be viewed from afar but not played with.

Although Yun Yun Feizi had lost all her magic power, she relied on the Thunder Fighter jet Li Yi had left behind before he departed to still manage this small city very well, and she had also absorbed several cultivators from the Dharma-Ending Era from the Treasure Court.

Besides this, she had also collected many precious Daoist artifacts during this period.

Because Yun Yun Feizi knew very well that the Dharma-Ending World no longer had any hope for Daoist artifacts to revive, but after crossing the boundary, Daoist artifacts could still exert huge value.

"Last time, Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi, Liu Liu Guzi, Bald Daoist, Feiyunzi, and Qian Daoist—five people in total crossed the boundary and left. I wonder which lucky people will be chosen this time," Yun Yun Feizi thought to herself.

Her heart was also filled with a longing to cross the boundary and leave.

Having been reduced to a mortal for a long time and with her cultivation base having fallen severely, she was longing every day to go to a new world and recover her former Three-Flower Realm cultivation base.

However, when everyone arrived in front of Brother Tai Yi Hall.

On the open ground outside the main hall, Li Yi was already waiting there.

But when this group of cultivators who were once in the Three-Flower Realm saw Li Yi again, they all widened their eyes, feeling shocked.

They saw that the Li Yi before them was wrapped in five-colored Qi, and with every gesture, there seemed to be the sound of dragons and tigers. Moreover, just by standing there motionless, silver lightning jumped faintly around him.

Without a doubt.

Brother Tai Yi had already reached the Great Perfection of the Five-Qi Realm, and he had also cultivated the Heavenly Dao Sect's Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Taming Art. At this moment, he already possessed the strength of dragons and tigers.

But how could this be possible?

Only at the Great Perfection of the Five-Qi Realm and he could condense the strength of dragons and tigers? Wasn't this something only Three-Flower Realm experts could possess?

It was just that they didn't know how many dragons and tigers of strength Brother Tai Yi possessed.

"Brother Tai Yi's current strength is already afraid to be no less than that of a One-Flower Realm expert," Yun Yun Feizi, the Goddess of the Heavenly Dao Sect, couldn't help but purse her lips, covering up the shock in her heart.

How long had it been, and his combat strength had already reached the Three-Flower Realm?

His strength increased simply unreasonably. Even if he cultivated with Master Xiangxiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi every day, it shouldn't be this fast.

Li Yi's current strength was indeed able to suppress many Three-Flower Realm cultivation experts. He was not in a hurry to close the cross-boundary gate, but let the spiritual energy wind of the Savage World blow here a bit more.

Let the cultivators in this small city enjoy this wave of spiritual energy a bit more.

"This poor Daoist has met Brother Tai Yi."

"Brother Tai Yi, you have finally crossed the boundary. You really made this old Daoist wait."

"Brother Tai Yi has come, and hope has come."

These people were very excited to see Li Yi, because Li Yi's previous two boundary crossings had already benefited eight cultivators. This time, many people wanted to become the third batch of lucky ones.

And this time, they felt that Li Yi would take more people to cross the boundary and leave.

At the very least, it would be more than the second time.

In fact, Li Yi thought the same.

This time he crossed the boundary, he wanted to take more experts. After all, Red Gold Mountain was very large and could accommodate these people, and he could also suppress these people, which was completely different from the situation of the first two boundary crossings.

"Respected seniors, to make a long story short, this time I opened the cross-boundary gate, wanting to invite twenty people to leave this place with me and head to the Savage World to continue our path," Li Yi said. "After this boundary crossing, I'm afraid it won't be easy to come back, so I ask you seniors to think it over before making a decision."

Yun Yun Feizi stared at Li Yi with burning beautiful eyes. "Brother Tai Yi, please take me across the boundary. Several Immortal Maidens have already followed Brother Tai Yi and left. As the Goddess of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I cannot delay any longer."

"And as a reward, I am willing to work like a dog or horse for Brother Tai Yi."
