Chapter 789
Li Yi looked at the human-faced tree in front of him and didn't act rashly, but tried to talk to it, to determine the other party's attitude and level of intelligence. If the other party had ulterior motives, he wouldn't mind using the golden flames to burn this tree to ashes.
"My bloodline descendant, you don't need to be afraid, I won't hurt you." The human face on the trunk spoke again.
Li Yi asked: "Who are you?"
"I am your ancestor, a god. It's just that I have been dead for too long. My residual will drifted in this valley, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes remorseful... until this strange fruit tree gathered my residual will, and I woke up." The human face on the trunk said.
Li Yi thought to himself: Sure enough.
The Golden Apple Tree had absorbed too much divine power, causing the residual consciousness of this god to wake up.
The human face on the trunk continued: "In the countless years that my consciousness drifted, I have never felt a descendant of my bloodline come to this place. I thought my descendants had long since been cut off. I didn't expect that you would appear here today. Child, tell me your name."
"My name is Dayi," Li Yi said.
"Dayi? Good child, I can feel that the divine blood in your body is very powerful, enough to pass this power on to your descendants." The human face on the trunk had a very good attitude toward Li Yi and was also very gratified.
After all, in its view, Li Yi was its only bloodline descendant.
"You must have been guided by your bloodline to come here. It's just a pity that your ancestor is no longer in his prime, and only this residual consciousness is deposited in this big tree, unable to help you much. The only thing I can give you is this fruit containing my divine power."
The human face on the trunk suddenly looked up, then it shook its body, vibrated the trunk, and the silver apple fell down.
Seeing this, Li Yi was not polite and immediately put this silver apple into the Five Elements Bracelet.
"Thank you for the ancestor's gift," he said with some awe.
It seemed that the will of this god had not been polluted by the evil gods. From the conversation, it could be seen that it was very rational and very loving toward Li Yi, this bloodline descendant.
"Protecting descendants is what every ancestor should do. Although you are already excellent enough, you have not yet become a god. After you truly become a god, you can come to this place to take away the ancestor's weapon. That weapon is buried in the valley together with the ancestor's remains. I hope that one day it can see the light of day again and fight side by side with you."
The human face on the trunk sighed again, and also revealed an astonishing piece of news.
There was actually a divine weapon used by a god buried here.
Li Yi was somewhat astonished when he heard this. He didn't expect that his opportunity was not small, and then he became somewhat curious about what kind of divine weapon it was that required him to become a god to be qualified to use it.
It seemed that the god who died here back then had extraordinary strength, and for it, becoming a god was only enough to be qualified to use its weapon.
"Ancestor, don't worry. After I become a god, I will definitely establish a divine blood family and restore the glory of the divine blood." Li Yi immediately and shamelessly recognized this ancestor without hesitation.
After all, no matter what, the blood of this god was indeed flowing in his body, and he had even received the inheritance of divine arts. This was an undeniable fact.
"Good child, the ancestor believes you can definitely do it." The human face on the trunk smiled gratifiedly.
However, Li Yi didn't intend to stay here to accompany this tree. He said: "Ancestor, I cannot stay here for long. I am going out to fight. I will come to worship the ancestor next time I pass by here."
"Go. As a divine blood warrior, you show your enemies your strength. Don't be afraid of failure. The ancestor's power will protect you," the human face on the trunk said.
Li Yi nodded and said no more, immediately rising to leave.
When he left the Divine Mountain Valley and returned to the immortal warship, Xiang Xiangzi couldn't help but ask: "Taiyi, are you okay? What exactly is that tree in the valley? I can feel that the tree possesses unimaginable and terrifying power."
"The will of a god used the Golden Apple Tree of the Dark World to revive, and a mutation occurred," Li Yi said: "This god is the ancestor of my bloodline. Now that the immortal maiden is already a Great Perfectionist, did you also feel the danger?"
Xiang Xiangzi nodded slightly: "The entire valley is shrouded in a terrifying power. Although it hasn't manifested, if I were to break in, it would definitely be turned upside down. No wonder that sword immortal of the Profound Immortal Continent never picked that fruit; it should be because he feared this power."
Li Yi was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that the tree still possessed such powerful power.
"But don't worry, my bloodline is connected to that god, so the other party shouldn't hurt me. The matter here is done, let's go."
He set off again.
The immortal warship started, crossed the two worlds, and very smoothly arrived on Earth.
"Hongji, go to Base No. 8." Li Yi still needed to continue gathering Daoist experts; relying on these dozen or so people was not enough.
The immortal warship immediately flew toward Base No. 8.
Because Hongji contacted Base No. 8 in advance, when the immortal warship descended over Base No. 8, it didn't trigger an alarm, and the evolvers in Base No. 8 knew it was a friend and not an enemy when they saw this sci-fi warship.
After all, Earth's enemies wouldn't drive a warship.
Li Yi immediately tried to contact the Daoist experts in Base No. 8. Soon, a Daoist practitioner named Bai He Daoist hurried over. This Bai He Daoist had already recovered his cultivation and was an expert in the One Flower Realm.
"This old Daoist greets Taiyi," Bai He True Person said respectfully. Afterward, seeing Xiang Xiangzi, Xuanyuezi, and Concubine Yun beside Taiyi, he hurriedly bowed. After all, in the Age of Dharma Decline world, the status of the several immortal maidens of the Heavenly Dao Sect was precious, not something that people from small sects like them could compare to.
"Senior, I have something to gather the various experts who crossed over back then. Please help me contact them," Li Yi said directly to the point.
"Taiyi, don't worry, this old Daoist will contact them right away." Bai He True Person immediately took out a smartphone and sent messages to everyone, asking them to gather at the base.
As the messages were sent out, the Daoist practitioners in the base arrived one after another, and some experts also flew in from outside the base.
About an hour passed, and these twenty-plus Daoist experts gathered together.
"Seniors, gather in the warship." Li Yi invited everyone into the warship.
With the arrival of these people, except for Feiyunzi in the incense world, and a few people like Old Daoist Wu, Bald Daoist, Liu Guzi, and Elder Cang Erzi scattered on Earth, all the experts gathered in the Age of Dharma Decline cultivation world were almost all gathered here at this moment.
These people greeted each other familiarly when they met.
Not long after, everyone had recovered their cultivation, and they were no longer what they used to be.
Li Yi came to a conference room in the warship, waved his hand, and the auspicious clouds in the sky condensed, turning into cushions floating in the air, gesturing for everyone to take their seats.
And he didn't talk nonsense, directly saying: "I summoned the seniors here this time for only one thing, and that is that I want to use the power of the seniors to help me take back my home and expel the strong enemies. If the seniors are willing to help, I am willing to give two Red Gold Dao treasures."
As he spoke, he took out more than a hundred Red Gold Dao treasures of all kinds, letting these twenty-plus Daoist experts choose.
"Of course, if the seniors refuse, it doesn't matter. I won't make things difficult for the seniors."
Li Yi didn't force them either, giving them room to choose.
However, these twenty-plus Daoist experts were all people who had cultivated for hundreds of years and were very sensible. They naturally understood that when Li Yi brought them across dimensions back then and let them recover their strength, he needed them to sell their lives.
Now he was giving them two Red Gold Dao treasures.
If they still weren't willing to sell their lives, that would simply be ungrateful, and they would have nothing to say even if they were beaten to death.
Therefore, these twenty-plus Daoist experts didn't hesitate at all and immediately expressed their willingness to follow Li Yi to fight, and at the same time very readily accepted the two Red Gold Dao treasures.
After all, the price of two Red Gold Dao treasures was enough for an expert in the Three Flowers Realm to sell their lives, even in the Daoist world.
"Very good. In that case, seniors, rest for half an hour, and then we will set off for the Earth defense line," Li Yi said immediately.
Hearing this, everyone took orders and dispersed. They had stayed at Base No. 8 for a period of time and had some private matters to deal with, so Li Yi's arrangement was still very humane.
Half an hour passed quickly.
These Daoist experts packed their things and gathered in the immortal warship again.
And during this period, Li Yi also understood some of the situation at Base No. 8. He found that almost all the experts at Base No. 8 had been requisitioned to the Earth defense line, and the previous Su Mu, Li Yugang, and others were no longer here.
The reason why these Daoist practitioners were not requisitioned was because they were not evolvers on Earth, and the orders of the Earth defense line couldn't fall on them. And staying at Base No. 8 was also good for this place, at least it could ensure the safety of this place.
"It seems that the situation on the Earth defense line is not optimistic." Li Yi thought to himself. He had a premonition that the battle situation on the Earth defense line had escalated.
But he would only know the specifics after seeing it on the spot.
"Hongji, set off, head to the Earth defense line." He took a deep breath and gave the order again.
"Earth defense line?"
Hearing this place, Bai He Daoist and the others all looked solemn.
They had stayed at Base No. 8 for a long time, so they naturally understood what kind of place that was.
Enemies from all great worlds gathered there, with constant wars, and even immortals died, all to defeat the evolvers on Earth and take down this world.
However, after their strength recovered, plus the two Red Gold Dao treasures in their hands, they were not afraid of this.
Forty-plus experts were dispatched. Such strength was enough to sweep across a great world. They didn't believe there was any force that could stop this warship, not to mention, they had Great Perfectionists among them.
Once they appeared on the Earth defense line, they would be a fierce tiger, and it was the enemy that should be wary.
