Chapter 687: New Challenges

As time gradually passed, the strength of the twenty Three-Flower Realm cultivators constantly recovered, and Li Yi's control over Red Gold Mountain also became deeper and deeper, at least he didn't need to worry about this treasure mountain being handed over to others.

And taking advantage of the gap while these Three-Flower Realm experts were recovering their strength, Li Yi also began to study the next realm: Morning Origin Realm.

Five-Qi Morning Origin, it was simple to say, using the Qi of the Five Elements to circulate and nourish the Primordial Spirit until the Primordial Spirit bloomed with Dao flowers and reached perfection.

But Li Yi was different from ordinary cultivators. He was an evolutionist and already possessed a soul. Now that he had the nourishment of the heaven-and-earth treasure Red Lotus, it was very easy to step into the Five-Qi Morning Origin realm.

But to be comparable to his own massive magic power, an ordinary Primordial Spirit was not enough. He wanted to use the Dharma-Image Realm of the Four Seas and Bazhou as a foundation, combine the advantages of Five-Qi Morning Origin and the heaven-and-earth treasure Red Lotus, and breed a Primordial Spirit Dharma-Image that belonged exclusively to himself.

Before this, the first thing Li Yi had to do was to condense his soul into a Dharma-Image, and then use the Dharma-Image as a seed to transform into a cultivator's Primordial Spirit.

However, just when Li Yi was studying the Dharma-Image cultivation method of the Four Seas and Bazhou.

This day.

Merchant Lord Nv Heng hurried to the City Lord's Mansion. She found Li Yi, who was relatively leisurely, and told him a very important piece of news.

"Red Shancheng will change. I ask Lord Dayi to make preparations early." Nv Heng opened her mouth with just this sentence.

Li Yi felt somewhat surprised listening to this. Now that he was the Lord of Red Gold Mountain and had twenty Three-Flower Realm cultivators sitting in command, how could there be a change?

"I ask Nv Heng to explain in detail." He did not question immediately, but asked with sincerity and patience.

Nv Heng said, "I received news from other merchant lords that the God-Blood Warriors of the God Wood City lineage want to challenge you, the Mountain Lord, and want to take back Red Gold Mountain. The God-Blood Warrior Mu Tuo, who was driven away by Sage Nanshan Bo that day, will return again."

Li Yi understood immediately after hearing this.

This was that God-Blood Warrior who was unwilling and wanted to cause trouble again. It was just that it was unfortunate that they came at the wrong time. Now his Red Gold Mountain could be said to be strong with many soldiers and many experts.

Many cultivators had already recovered their One-Flower Realm cultivation base, and in a few days, there would be many experts in the Two-Flower Realm. He himself had also been tempered by God's Blood, his physical body had transformed, and his strength had greatly increased.

"If he dares to come, he will die." Li Yi sneered at this moment. "I can take Red Gold Mountain, and I can guard Red Gold Mountain. Just right, I still need the divine tree leaves of the God Wood lineage to melt Red Gold and forge Red Gold divine weapons."

"When can the God Wood lineage warriors arrive at Red Gold Mountain?"

Nv Heng was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lord Dayi to not be nervous or afraid after hearing that the God Wood lineage warriors were coming, but instead eager to try, wanting to take down this invading enemy. One had to know that the God Wood lineage was much more powerful than the Red Gold Mountain Lord.

"Lord Dayi, if everything is normal, they will arrive at Red Shancheng at noon tomorrow." Subsequently, Nv Heng said seriously again.

Li Yi nodded. "Thank you for telling me. It seems that the information network between you merchant lords is indeed very well-informed. Being able to learn about this major event one day in advance, it was correct for me to hand over Red Shancheng to you for management."

Nv Heng said, "Such a big event, the merchant lords in God Wood City will definitely receive the news. This is not my ability. The truly generous one is Brother Tai Yi, because you let me manage Red Shancheng, and I can allocate enough

Red Gold, so that those merchant lords are willing to take the risk of offending God Wood City to come and tell me."

"Then I must repay these merchant lords afterward." Li Yi said with a smile. "Red Gold Mountain has nothing else, but it has a lot of Red Gold. I am not a stingy Mountain Lord. After everything stabilizes, they will get the rewards that belong to them. Of course, this also includes you, Nv Heng."

Nv Heng smiled. "I have already received the rewards I deserve. Before making greater contributions, I cannot obtain those benefits that do not belong to me."

Li Yi said, "You are a wise merchant lord. Stay in Red Shancheng with peace of mind these few days. I will solve the God Wood lineage warriors."

"With these words from the Mountain Lord, Red Shancheng can be more stable," Nv Heng said.

She also needed to get some positive response from Li Yi, otherwise, Red Shancheng, which had finally stabilized, would be in chaos again. After all, the God Wood lineage warriors were famous here and were enough to scare away the few people in Red Gold Mountain.

After sending Nv Heng away.

Li Yi's expression gradually became solemn again. He was confident, but he couldn't underestimate the foundation of a big city. After all, regarding the God Wood lineage warriors, he only knew one person named Mu Tuo. Whether other experts would come, he had no idea.

If the other side sent a Hundred Mountain Lord, then he should stop fighting and just run away across the boundary.

"Instead of waiting for the other side to come to Red Gold Mountain for a battle, it's better to take the initiative to go to Red Gold, intercept and kill the other side halfway, and just take the opportunity to find out the other side's reality, so as not to wait for death tomorrow." Subsequently, his gaze flickered, and a plan gradually emerged in his mind.

Immediately, auspicious clouds appeared under Li Yi's feet, and his whole person soared into the air.

He transmitted his voice toward the direction of the Red Gold Mountain Range. "Cultivators who have recovered to the Three-Flower Realm, please gather at the City Lord's Mansion. There is an important matter to discuss."

Very quickly.

In the direction of the Red Gold Mountain Range, streaks of five-colored clouds soared into the sky.

The cultivators hiding in caves in various mountain ranges stopped their cultivation upon hearing Li Yi's call and all set out. Although they had been ignoring worldly affairs these days, they also knew that this boundary crossing must have something to do.

After all, Li Yi spent a price to cross the boundary and bring them to the Savage World, not for them to enjoy blessings. If there is gain, there must be loss.

One by one, the cultivators flew over quickly. Some stepped on auspicious clouds, some stepped on five-colored Qi, and some turned into divine light. In just a moment's time, a full twelve cultivators gathered.

The reason why twelve came was because these twelve cultivators were all at the Three-Flower Realm level.

Eight cultivators had their lifespans running out and their cultivation bases fallen severely. After coming to the Savage World for this period of time, they had not been able to bloom their Dao arts again, so they could only continue to hide in their caves and could not respond to this call.

"Have twelve reached the Three-Flower Realm?" Li Yi scanned them and was satisfied with this result.

After all, they hadn't been back across the boundary for long, and it was already very good to be able to recover to this point.

"Brother Tai Yi, has something happened?" Goddess Yun Yun Feizi came floating on clouds and asked immediately.

Others also looked at Brother Tai Yi one after another.

Li Yi said, "Last time we took Red Gold Mountain, a God Wood lineage warrior left. Now I have received news that they plan to come to Red Gold Mountain at noon tomorrow to challenge me, the Mountain Lord, and want to take away Red Gold Mountain."

"How unreasonable! Daring to take our place of residence? Brother Tai Yi, there is no need for you to make a move. Tomorrow, I will make this person unable to return. This old Daoist has already bloomed two Dao flowers. Confronting a Mountain Lord-level warrior should be no problem." The one speaking was Yuanyang True Person.

He was once a cultivation expert at the peak of the Three-Flower Realm. Now that two Dao flowers had bloomed again, his strength recovery could be considered fast.

"Not bad. Since this place is named Red Gold Mountain, it naturally cannot be handed over to others. Master Tiangong Daoist also said that the Daoist artifacts refined from Red Gold have a grade even exceeding top-tier inherited Daoist artifacts. Occupying Red Gold Mountain, we will have Red Gold Daoist artifacts to use in the future. Even if Brother Tai Yi doesn't say it, I will guard Red Gold Mountain to the death and never want to retreat." A Daoist named Senior Qingfengzi gritted his teeth, looking murderous.

Only after experiencing the Dharma-Ending Era did they know what a happy and wonderful thing it was to have abundant spiritual energy and be able to obtain Red Gold Daoist artifacts. Now that someone wanted to take away all of this, how could they endure it?

"If they dare to come, it's sending themselves to death. Tomorrow at noon, let's all make a move together and send this God Wood lineage warrior on his way." The one speaking was a man around thirty. He didn't look like a cultivation person, but rather like a battle general. This person was named Tian Jian, and he was once one of the thirty-six guardians of the Heavenly Dao Sect, proficient in killing and cutting.

Goddess Yun Yun Feizi said seriously at this moment, "Tian Jian, don't be reckless. Listen to how Brother Tai Yi arranges it. This world is not that simple. Even the two Immortal Maidens, joining forces, couldn't take down the former Red Gold Mountain Lord, let alone we haven't thoroughly recovered our strength."

Tian Jian nodded, and then looked at Li Yi, waiting for Li Yi's instructions.

Others also stopped speaking and looked at Li Yi.

Although they were all once unruly cultivation experts, before Li Yi, they could only bow their heads and listen to orders. The She-Shen Curse was one thing, but the most important thing was that now Li Yi just stood there, and there was a divine power fluctuation that made people palpitate.

This was not yet reaching the Morning Origin Realm.

If one day he stepped into the Three-Flower Realm, even if forty-nine cultivation experts gathered, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to shake him in the slightest.

With such strength and potential, it naturally made people convinced.

"You are all cultivation seniors. You should know the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand. Since the other side plans to come to challenge me, the Mountain Lord, at noon tomorrow, then let's kill our way over today and annihilate the other side halfway," Li Yi said. "If we can capture several God-Blood Warriors and send them to God Wood City, maybe we can exchange for quite a few God Wood leaves. In case the other side has experts at the Hundred Mountain Lord level, we can also have a day to withdraw from Red Gold Mountain, so as not to be surrounded by others and lose our lives in vain."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Li Yi's approach.

Very reasonable.

Advancing and retreating with measure, instead of choosing to wait for death. If it were them, they would also do this.

If they really waited for the other side to come to the door tomorrow, at that time, if they couldn't defeat them, they would be afraid that even wanting to leave would be difficult.

"Brother Tai Yi's method is steady. Attacking halfway, can attack and defend. This old Daoist suggests letting a few people lead the charge and test the other side's strength," Yuanyang Daoist added some suggestions.

But Shenxu Daoist on the side said coldly, "No need. We can operate Daoist arts halfway. After finding the other side, everyone attacks together. If the other side doesn't die under this joint strike, they must be strong. If the other side is safe, we run quickly. If the other side is heavily injured, then we come out to clean up the mess."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened slightly, and then they looked at this Shenxu Daoist with surprise.

Good idea.

But why does this sound a bit despicable?

Li Yi also looked at this Shenxu Daoist. Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy. These cultivation people have lived for so many years, and they are indeed experienced, and they can think of any good method.

"Good, let's do it this way. Time is of the essence, let's set off now," Li Yi immediately adopted this method, and then set off immediately, to avoid the news leaking and long nights having many dreams.

He identified a direction and then flew on auspicious clouds toward the direction of God Wood City.

The twelve cultivation experts saw this and followed closely behind, not daring to delay in the slightest.

"Good, let's do it. There is no time to lose; let's set off now." Li Yi immediately adopted this plan and departed at once, so as to avoid the news leaking out and causing complications.

He identified a direction and then rode the clouds toward the direction of Shenmu City.

The twelve cultivation experts saw this and immediately followed closely behind, not daring to delay for even a moment.
